The WAGR T class was a class of 4-4-0 steam locomotives operated by the Great Southern Railway (GSR) and later Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR).
History
In 1887, Beyer, Peacock & Co, Manchester built a batch of six locomotives for the GSR. These were followed by four built by Kitson & Co, Leeds. As with all GSR locomotives they were named and not numbered or given a class designation.
All were included in the December 1896 takeover of the GSR by the WAGR and became the T class, numbered T164 to T173. They operated services from Albany through to Perth.
Withdrawals began in 1924 with the last remaining in service until 1952.
