QR NG PB15 500

The Queensland Government Railways PB15 class was the most significant and successful of the locomotives designed in the nineteenth century. The design resulted from a need for more powerful engines for passenger trains. Initially designated as a Passenger B15, they were later better known as PB15. They spent many of their early years hauling important passenger trains around the state. With the strengthening of the main lines they were relieved of most of these tasks by more powerful locomotives. Later they were relegated to lesser duties on branch lines and in shunting yards. Engines attached to Wooloongabba and later at Mayne were used on Southside suburban passenger trains until 1968.

QR PB15 500 was build by Evens, Anderson & Phelan Lmtd with works number 87 of 1910 and was commissioned into service on the 2nd of Jan 1910 and was a SED locomotive for most of its running carrer being shed at Ipswich Roundhouse. 500 worked around the Ipswich & Brisbane District. For many years it was the yard pilot, hauling coal around the Bundamba Loopline, shunting engines and goods wagons around the main yards right up to June 1969.
