Steam Locomotive 1301 has heritage significance as it is associated with the operations of suburban services in Sydney, at the turn of the 20th century and with rural tramway services in NSW. The locomotive exhibits many of the design and style characteristics of a locomotive of the late Victorian era being constructed in 1877, with the tall chimney, high wheels, raked running plate and long slender side tanks, demonstrating the popular trends in British railway practice of the late 19th century.
The locomotive is intact, complete and on display at the NSW Rail Transport Museum, Thirlmere.
