After nearly 15 years of agitation, deputations, many setbacks and numerous changes of Government, work began on the
Yea to
Mansfield line on 27 April 1887. The first train steamed into
Mansfield on 6th October 1891. It was a wood burning W Class loco and although 15 minutes late, it arrived to the delight of some 2,000 onlookers.
The engine was one of the American-style engines used on branch lines and made by Phoenix Foundry at Ballarat. It was given a rousing welcome by The
Mansfield Brass Band.
