South Australian Railways W class : ウィキペディア英語版 | South Australian Railways W class
The W class was a class of 2-6-0 wheel arrangement steam locomotive built for and operated by South Australian Railways of Australia. == History == The 35 W class were ordered as light goods locomotives for use on the expanding SAR gauge networks, limited in size and weight by the requirement they must be able to run on 40 lb/yd rails as were in use at the time. The locomotives were built by Beyer, Peacock & Co. of Manchester as a variation on the narrow gauge ''Mogul'' design widely used in Australia at the time, and transported to South Australia by ship. Early W class units were used during construction of the line between Port Augusta and Quorn in 1878 prior to entering revenue service with SAR. During their operational career, the locomotives were used within South Australia on the isolated Eyre Peninsular Railway, in the south east on now closed lines in the Kingston, Naracoorte and Mount Gambier areas as well as the line north from Port Augusta. Many were sold or leased to contractors and they were also used by the Railways Construction Branch.〔(Webshots )〕 Several of the locomotives were sold to C&E Millar and used for construction of the Palmerston and Pine Creek Railway in the Northern Territory and would continue to work the isolated line for the remainder of their operational lives.
