The WAGR E class was a two-member class of double-Fairlie locomotives used by the Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR) between 1881 and 1894–95. The class's wheel arrangement was 2-4-4-2T. The E class engines were built by Avonside Engine Co of Bristol, England, in 1879 for the Northampton railway line, the first government railway in Western Australia, which opened that year. However, the two locomotives did not enter service until 1881 and 1885, respectively, and were not a success on that line. In 1888, both engines were relocated to Fremantle to be used on the Eastern Railway, but both had been withdrawn from service on the WAGR by 1895. ==See also== * History of rail transport in Western Australia * List of Western Australian locomotive classes * WAGR E class – another class of steam locomotive designated as the WAGR E 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 E class (1879)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
