1873, "the Pigeon" sits stored in a shabby condition at the Islington Workshops on 4-9-2018. The Alco unit has sat in the workshops since September 2011 after being sold to El Zorro which went into receivership so now the locos future sits in limbo.
It was built in 1977 as N1873, then rebuilt to NA1873 in 1982 and then again to NB1873 in 1994. It Was sold to Austrac in Junee and renumbered to 1873. in 2004 the loco was sold and painted to Patricks Portlink and ran on the Balco Bowmans services until sold to El Zorro.
