Evans, Anderson, Phelan & Co

Evans, Anderson, Phelan & Co was an Australian engineering and railway rolling stock manufacturer, located at Kangaroo Point, Queensland. It manufactured steam locomotives for the Queensland Railways until 1927.[1][2] The works were not located near a railway, so completed locomotives were delivered along Main Street on temporary track.
