Mullewa was built in 1894 by Beyer, Peacock and company as builders number 3603 for Mclean Brother and Rigg machinery agents joint with Neil McNeil and company for the construction of the Geraldton to Mullewa rail line and named after the aforementioned location. After the completion of the line in 1894, it was sold on 20/07/1895 to the Western Australian Government Railways where it operated on the main network as G class number 50 until 1943.

When it was sold to the Commonwealth Railways for emergency war service over the North Australia Railway where it was classed Nga and numbered 86.
