Summary

A passenger train consisting of one self powered carriage, moving along the train line at Victor Harbor. A conductor is leaning from the rear door, and the driver is just visible at the front. A dirt road and wire fence follows the track. The railcar's chassis was produced by the Caldwell Vale company in Sydney, with body built by Duncan & Fraser at North Adelaide. It had two kerosene powered motors driving the inner axles of the bogies, and the electric lighting was powered by a separate single cylinder motor. It ran between Goolwa and Victor Harbor from December 1913 to March 1919.
