Summary

Description
English: Commonwealth Railways C class locomotive no. C63 in 1938 on the Trans-Australian Railway with a train of ore cars. This class of 4-6-0 locomotives was almost identical to the New South Wales Government Railways C36 class, but its tender had a much higher capacity on account of the large distances between fuelling points on the desert railway.

Of interest are the cowling around the valve motion near the cylinders (to protect from dust) and the thermocouple cables from the tender axleboxes to the cab (to monitor their temperature) – both also resulting from the locomotives' harsh operating conditions.
