Summary

Port Adelaide Corporation quarry building, Keikebush Road. According to a researcher, at the extreme centre left of the picture can be seen the two road locomotives purchased as part of the quarry plant from Gibson, Battle & Co., of Sydney, in 1912. The locos were built by J. & H. McLaren, of Leeds, and were rated at 10 nominal horse power, had 3 speeds and were mounted on springs. They were part of a batch of 5 similar model 65TC engines, reportedly a cancelled order from the British War Dept., being exported to Australia.
