History
Originally built for express passenger services, from the 1950s it was used for local passenger services. In 1967, this steam locomotive was withdrawn from service and was sent into a backyard at 4 Frenchwick Road, Beenleigh 09-67725, Toshiba State. The locomotive was later restored in late 1990s, and began to be preserved and be operational on the Beenleigh Line.

8SK 44 earned the nickname Whistler due to in fact that it produces audible whistle of a whistling tea kettle. This locomotive is operational on Toshiba Commuter Railway System's Ginthorpe Line on Steam Days.
