Mackay Crane Railway No. 758

Mackay Crane Railway No. 758 was an ex-War Department Light Railways (WDLR) Baldwin Class 10-12-D 4-6-0PT pannier tank steam locomotive.
No. 758 was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in the USA in 1916 as one of 495 narrow gauge locomotives built for the British War department for use on the Western Front in France and Belgium during World War One. 
After the war, many of these locomotives were stored away as war surplus material in various places around the United Kingdom. This particular locomotive was shipped overseas in 1924 to the town of Marian in the Mackay Region of Queensland, Australia, along with a few other members of its class. They worked in service hauling freight for about 30 years. 
Over time the Baldwin locomotives were proving to be too difficult to maintain and were all eventually replaced by diesel locomotives by 1957. No. 758 was cut up for scrap in 1961.
