This photo is kindly provided by Alex Bradford and shows K
175 plinthed at Mildura on 19 September 2006.
K 175 was built at Victorian Railway's Newport Workshops in 1941.
Following retirement by the Victorian Railways K175 was plinthed in a park in Mildura, where it remains to this day.

Brian Black has provided this much earlier view of K175 plinthed at Mildura in 1975.
At that stage the public were welcome to clamber on the locomotive!
In the background the Mildura rail yard
is full of 4-wheel goods vehicles.
