RX Loco #217 - Nuriootpa, SA, Australia - Locomotives on Waymarking.com

This black-painted steam locomotive may set on a short length of rails - but they seem to be hidden beneath woodchip 'soft-fall' that surrounds the popular Playground, and not far away from the Skatepark. Behind the Locomotive is a 'Coal Car'. Near the front of the Locomotive is an authentic railway signal set on a 25 cm square wooden post. Nearby is the metal plaque, with the following inscription about the Locomotive:
