The South Australian Railways C Class locomotives were built by the Robert Stephenson and Company for the South Australian Railways in 1856. The first locomotive (No. 5) was in service by November 1856, with the second engine (No. 6) in service by January 1857. They were both withdrawn after long service lives, with No. 5 being withdrawn after 50 years working on the SAR. No. 6 lasted well into Commissioner Webbs era, finally being withdrawn in 1926 at almost 70 years old.[1]
