3112
Locomotive 3112 is a two-cylinder, simple, non-condensing, saturated, coal-fired ‘Baltic’ type, 4-6-4 steam C30 class tank locomotive for the New South Wales Government Railways built in 1914 by Beyer, Peacock and Company.
==Construction==
Built in 1914 by the British firm of Beyer, Peacock and Company as Makers NO 5807, 3112 was one of 145 locomotives of the eventual S.636 class of 4-6-4T tank locomotives built specifically to handle the increasing volume of suburban traffic in Sydney, particularly on the steeply graded Northern, North Shore and Illawarra lines. The S.636 class was later reclassified as the C30 class in 1924 and given new running numbers in the 30xx series.
Following the electrification of the Sydney suburban network, 77 of the C30 class locomotives, which were deemed too valuable to the NSWGR, were converted into C30T 4-6-0 tender locomotives between 1928 and 1933 and which were used to replace older and largely obsolete locomotives then working on the lightly-laid country branch lines throughout New South Wales. The remaining 68 engines not converted were used on outer suburban services in Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong, while others ended up assisting on local trains in suburban areas and short country trips.
