Burra was withdrawn from service and taken to the AIS Locomotive workshops at Port Kembla where it was restored for static display. It was put on display in the grounds of the AIS Visitors Centre, (now Australia Industry World) at Port Kembla. The locomotive was donated by AIS Port Kembla to the ILRMS in 1978. Soon after dismantling for restoration occured. In December 1994 the locomotive was trialed after major restoration and started active duty at Albion Park.
