In 1964 Burra was withdrawn from service and taken to the Australian Iron & Steel (AIS) Locomotive workshops at Port Kembla where it was restored for static display. It was put on display in the grounds of the Australian Iron & Steel Visitors’ Centre at Port Kembla. The locomotive has been restored to operating condition (since 1994) after it had been donated to the ILRMS in 1978 and operates regularly becoming the Illawarra Light Railway Museum's flagship locomotive and is numbered 4 in their fleet.
