Description: John Fowler narrow-gauge steam locomotive of Rocky Point sugar mill. They had got a lot of money from somewhere to generate electricity from burning cane trash and scrap timber. A new boiler, wood chopping plant, steam generator and a 11,000 - 110,000 Volt transformer were installed to feed the nearby transmission line, but it never worked similar to the generating plant near Nambour burning macadamia nut shells. Roumors say, who ever designed this would not know how to change a tyre on a car.
