Ian Gilbertson yes, pretty sure that is Bill Muir.

Kev Rasmussen
Ian Gilbertson correct on both counts

Christine Hogg
Yes, Bill Muir - I remember it passing my grandmother's house in Kaniere Tram, many moons ago. My mother had her behind paddled for sitting on the tracks and making them stop; she'd be 101 years old this year.

Jenny Jones
Great picture I remember the old loco we would hide in the cutting at kaniere untill it passed by.

Janet Birch
Oh yes. The Lokee. Went past Grand parents house about 7.45 am and back at around 4.30pm. Stewart’s Mill.
As children we knew when to keep off the tracks.

One of those Locies was powered by a Model A Ford engine. The Late Bruce. Cameron and I acquired it to fit into his Model A truck
