'A greater crowd had gathered for the departure of the official train, headed again by C124. The weather, it would seem, was not clement, judging by the turn-out of umbrellas. After the gentry departed, a second train was provided for the populace at large hauled, of necessity, by an A class.'
C class 4-4-0 C124 (Beyer Peacock builder's number 1772 of 1878 and later renumbered 1213 of the Z12 class in 1924), which hauled the opening train from Mullumbimby to Lismore and the return shown in the above photo, was the only "passenger" locomotive allocated to the original line. 1213 was withdrawn in 1930 and cut up in 1937. The three other locomotives initially allocated to the line were all A class 0-6-0 (later Z19 class) and included A97 which was renumbered as 1905 and was preserved as the first locomotive to cross the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Caption from Ian Dunn's "Byways of Steam 18":
A Belpaire-boilered 19 class waits on the western outskirts of Lismore with a substantial train of logs from the Kyogle line Apart from the leading four-plank D wagon and a covered van, the entire load is bogie F wagons, all but one loaded with six large sawn lengths of log. A lone bogie F conveys sawn timber, and the ensemble is trailed by an HG brake van. The variety in the height of the side rails on the F wagons is interesting, some having been built as such, others having been cut down from bogie G wagons.
