The WAGR C class was a class of light axle load steam locomotives used by the Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR) between 1902 and 1961. A total of 22 of them were built in two batches. The first batch, of 12 engines, was built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1902. This batch was originally of a 4-6-0 wheel arrangement, and was a lighter version of the WAGR Ec class, which had been built by Baldwin in 1901. The engines in the first batch were later fitted with a larger, improved, boiler, and converted to a 4-6-2 configuration. The second batch, of 10 engines, was built by the WAGR's Midland Railway Workshops in 1915, to the modified 4-6-2 design. Seventeen members of the class were later fitted with a superheater and reclassified as the Cs class. The last four remaining members of the C class, all of them by then designated as Cs class units, ceased to be operated by the WAGR in 1961, when they were sold to Hawker Siddeley Building Supplies. All four were withdrawn from service in 1964 and scrapped. ==See also== * History of rail transport in Western Australia * List of Western Australian locomotive classes * WAGR C class (1881) – another class of steam locomotive also designated as the WAGR C class * WAGR C class (diesel) – a class of diesel-electric locomotive also designated as the WAGR C class 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WAGR C class」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
