History
She was built by Vickers, Sons & Maxim Ltd of Barrow-in-Furness for the London and North Western Railway in 1908.
She was named after the Slieve Gallion mountain in County Londonderry. She was very similar in specification to her sister ship, Slieve Bloom.
She was sold in May 1937 to Arnott Young and Company in Dalmuir for breaking, and replaced by the Slieve Bawn.
gollark: They should probably just not have network access, except for a wired connection to upload maps and such. Unfortunately, someone will definitely do something stupid like... have a 4G connection in it for interweb browsing, make the entire thing run some accursed Android derivative and put the self-driving code on there too, and expose that to the user, and make it wildly insecure.
gollark: I'm sure someone will manage to entirely mess up the security, yes.
gollark: (Just kidding! There's no way car OSes will be (are, probably) non-locked-down enough to do that!)
gollark: It's only a patent so far. But they had *better* not make it necessary to install adblockers on your car or something.
gollark: This makes sense, because social shame things are always right.
