I presume you would mean 1210/(C)120.
A bit of history about this loco that isn't well known.
C/12 classes were allocated to Parkes depot at two periods in the depot's history. In the early 1920s C120 was the last Parkes C class to be removed and alloted elsewhere, and in the late 1950s (or early 60s, can't remember) Z1210 was also the last one alloted to Parkes (although there were only a few left in service by this time).

I will kick start this Trivia thing again.
Who Am I? (I know I am 4426 but thats not the answer  )
I was born on 26 December 1867 at Sandgate, Queensland.
I worked as a draftsman under the chief engineer, railways, in Brisbane.
In 1903 drew attention to the competition, initiated in 1900, for the design of a bridge across Sydney Harbour; there had been agitation for a bridge or tunnel since the 1880s.
In 1924 he received the first doctorate of science in engineering awarded by the University of Sydney, for a thesis entitled 'The city and suburban electric railways and the Sydney Harbour Bridge'.
Who is this person?
Sir 4426_No_2_end Knight of the Evil Empire of Lithgovia.
I LIVE WITH FEAR - SOMETIMES SHE LETS ME GO GUNZELLING.
ALL I WANT FOR XMAS IS A FEMALE MODERATOR ON Railpage Australia™...PLEASE.

I will haphazard another guess and say it has to be something about the Cronulla Line opening as a tramway or railway.
