Introduced in 1925, the 75 locomotives of the class became the principal motive power for all major expresses, and accelerated long distance passenger timetables leading to new levels of service in the pre World War II period. They were the mainstay of passenger expresses for over 20 years before the advent of the 38 class. The class was used extensively for performance testing, and thus the development and trial of a number of technical improvements. ==Origins and development== The 36 class was a relatively minor development of the 35 class locomotives, introduced in 1914. The first ten were built by the Eveleigh Railway Workshops, the remaining 65 by Clyde Engineering. The design was a response to the increased loading of express trains and public demand for shorter journey times, as well as to the need for reduced servicing and lower maintenance costs. 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「New South Wales C36 class locomotive」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
