History

She was completed 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.
