Old Locomotives.
The Tasmanian railways administration has purchased from the New Zealand Railways Department four of its Wf type locomotives, which had become obsolete in the New Zealand service. having been superseded by engines with much greater haulage power and speed. The old engines, however, are suitable for Tasmanian conditions. and after a complete overhaul at the Hillside railway workshops they will be shipped at an early date. New boilers built at Hillside have been provided for these locomotives, which will now be able to give a further long period of useful service.
