SAR T Class 4-8-0
|
 |
78 were built between 1910 and 1917 specifically for the Broken Hill-Port Pirie ore trains where they dominated until the mid 1960s. They were regarded as one of the most successful SAR steam locos. 6 were sold to the Tasmanian Government Railways (TGR), a few were transfered to other SAR narrow gauge divisions and 5 were temporarily converted to broad gauge (5ft 3in, 1600mm) during a shortage of broad gauge locos. The vast majority saw out their lives on the SAR Northern (Peterborough) Narrow Gauge Division. The last examples were withdrawn from service in the early 1970s.

SAR Y Class 2-6-0
|
 |
129 entered service on the SAR narrow gauge systems between 1885 and 1889, some where purchased second hand. They became the backbone of the SAR narrow gauge systems for many decades. The last was withdrawn from service in 1970. The class was widely used by other narrow gauge systems.

SAR 300 Class 4-8-2+2-8-4
|
 |
The ASG (Australian Standard Garratt) narrow gauge locos were built from 1943 to 1945 as an emergency measure to aid the war effort. 6 were purchased second hand by the SAR in the early 1950s and were designated the 300 class. They were to fill a loco shortage for the Broken Hill to Port Pirie ore trains. The 400 class locos had been ordered for this service but their delivery had been delayed. The 300 class entered service in the SAR in 1953/54 and all were found to be in poor condition. The class was condemned in February 1956.

10 of these oil fired Garratts were purchased in the 1950s specifically for the Broken Hill-Port Pirie ore trains and the Leigh Creek coal trains. Most had been withdrawn by the mid 1960s. The last was withdrawn from service in 1970.

SAR 620 Class 4-6-2
|
 |
10 were built in 1937-1938 for use on the broad gauge (5ft 3in, 1600mm) network. They operated on all but the lightest of branch lines. All had been withdrawn from service by 1969 but one, No. 621, still operates on the Heritage Victor Harbour Line. Another, No 624, is on display in the National Railway Museum at Port Adelaide.

SAR 750 Class 2-8-2
|
 |
80 units were originally built for the broad gauge (5ft 3in, 1600mm) Victorian Railways (VR) as the N Class between 1925 and 1951. 10 were also sold to the SAR in 1951 where they became the 750 Class. They were very useful as goods engines on the many SAR light weight branch lines. Dieselisation saw them withdrawn from service from the late 1950s. SAR 752 is the only survivor and is on display in the National Railway Museum at Port Adelaide.

SAR 830 Diesel
|
 |
An ALCo DL531 diesel that was once common, in a variety of forms, on all Australian railways. The 830 class locos first appeared in the SAR in the 1960s. By 1970 they had 45 units in 3 different gauges (narrow, standard and broad), 13 of them were narrow gauge. They are still in operation on the SAR today but several have been remodelled by redesigning the "nose" at the cab end creating a continuous front window across the width of the cab to provide better driver vision.
