SR USA class
The SR USA class were ex-United States Army Transportation Corps S100 Class steam locomotives purchased and adapted by the Southern Railway (SR) after the end of the Second World War to replace the LSWR B4 class then working in Southampton Docks.
== Origins ==
(詳細はUnited States Army Transportation Corps built 382 S100 Class 0-6-0 for use in the Second World War. They were shipped to Great Britain in 1943 and stored awaiting the invasion of Mainland Europe. Most went overseas but some had hardly been used and remained in store at Newbury Racecourse after the war.〔Bradley, D.L.: ''Locomotives of the Southern Railway: Part 1.'' (Railway Correspondence and Travel Society: London, 1975) ISBN 0-86093-593-0, p. 66〕 The SR needed to replace the ageing B4, D1 and E1 class tanks used in Southampton Docks. The locomotives needed to have a short wheelbase to negotiate the tight curves found in the dockyard, but be able to haul heavy freight trains as well as full-length passenger trains in the harbour area.〔Longworth, Hugh: ''British Railway Steam Locomotives: 1948-1968'' (Oxford Publishing Company: Oxford, 2005) ISBN 0-86093-593-0〕 Fifteen locomotives were purchased on the recommendation of Oliver Bulleid (14 for traffic plus one for spares) and adapted for use in Britain. Other surviving members of the S100 Class found industrial uses in Great Britain with the National Coal Board, Longmoor Military Railway and Austin Motors.
