The South Australian Railways 500 class is a class of ten 4-8-2 Mountain steam locomotives built in 1925, designed to operate on gauge lines. ==History== These locomotives were part of larger order for thirty modern steam locomotives placed with Armstrong Whitworth in Great Britain in 1924 as part of the rehabilitation of the state's rail system being overseen by railways commissioner W. A. Webb. Built to replace the underpowered 4-4-0 S Class and 4-6-0 Rx Class locomotives, many dating back to 1894 that were still performing mainline duties, where double and even triple heading was common. All ten of the 500 class Mountains arrived to Adelaide in 1926 and all ten were placed into service the same year. During the late twenties all ten locomotives were named after notable South Australians.
