The Western Endeavour locomotive was a celebration of the completion of the Sydney to Perth railways line conversion to Standard gauge. The New South Wales Rail Transport Museum operated the Western Endeavour as a special steam locomotive on the new rail line, at a time when steam locomotives were being withdrawn from service. Departing Sydney Central on the 22nd of August 1970, the Western Endeavour arrived at East Perth on the 28th of August 1970.

The East to West coast journey was hauled initially by two locomotives C3801 and C3813, with C3813 assisting until Port Augusta. During its stay in South Australia, the C3813 was used for tours.
