The South Australian Railways Gc Class Locomotive originally entered service in 1879 on the Adelaide Glenelg & Suburban Railway as No. 6 and was built by Robert Stephenson and Company. In November 1881 the locomotive was sold to the Glenelg Railway Company and became their No. 6. On the 16th of December 1899 it entered service on the South Australian Railways following the purchase of the Glenelg Railway Company. The SAR classed this locomotive as Gc and numbered it 160. Gc class No. 160 was then condemned on the 26th of July 1905.[1][2]
