This pumped water around London until 1980. Also filmed as the engine room of the Titanic, and used as a location in the soon to be released 'His Dark Materials' trilogy.

Hughes Engine house. Moonta, South Australia
Hughes Enginehouse played a focal role in the operations of the Moonta Mine. Its function was to dewater the underground workings on the mine’s largest orebodies. These orebodies, known as Elders and Elders West Lodes, were worked over a length of 1000 metres and to depths of more than 700 metres.
This classic Cornish enginehouse was constructed alongside Hughes Shaft by John Beaglehole between late 1863 and early 1865. It was named after Walter Watson Hughes, the founder of the Moonta Mining Co.
The building housed a 60-inch Cornish beam pumping engine installed under the direction of engineer Frederick May, and officially started by Captain Hancock on 2 September 1865. The engine and its installation cost £7000 ($1-2 million by today’s standards).
The engine operated pumps in Hughes and Taylors Shafts which allowed mining of the main orebody below natural water level. It worked continuously, except for maintenance, for more than 58 years until closure of the mine in 1923.
The machinery was scrapped and the buildings were salvaged when the Wallaroo and Moonta Mining and Smelting Co. liquidated in 1925. In 1973, the National Trust carried out conservation work on the enginehouse and chimney.

Formerly served as Engine 161 and later as the reserve engine. This unit was involved in a crash in 2019. The department decided to both repair and refurbish the apparatus and return it service as Engine 162. The ALF then took over reserve duties.

On Monday, May 30, 1988, we began the long trek home as VIA Rail Canada's Atlantic, train 11, departed Halifax, Nova Scotia at 12:35.
By around 17:00, we had entered New Brunswick, and paused at the station at Moncton for a 20-minute servicing and crew change stop. During the stop, I snapped a couple photos, though I have no memory of this whatsoever. My guess, since no headlight is displayed on VIA Budd car 6139, that this consist is headed eastward (away from me) on train 614 between Saint John and Halifax.
