Formerly known as A1514 and financed by Western Mining Corporation for the West Australian Government Railway to haul ore trains, this was one of three A Class fitted with dynamic brakes. A1514 was built by Clyde Engineering at Granville in NSW and is presently owned by Genesee & Wyoming Australia (along with sister unit 1203/A1513) for narrow gauge grain haulage out of Port Lincoln.
With the closure of the grain lines from Port Lincoln in mid 2019, the future of 1204 is presently unknown.
