The WAGR G class was a class of steam locomotives designed by Beyer, Peacock & Co and used by the Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR) from 1889. The class's wheel arrangement varied; some were 2-6-0 and the rest were 4-6-0. A total of 48 G class engines were acquired by the WAGR between 1889 and 1899, and they were the first class of locomotives to be introduced to the WAGR network in quantity. They were also part of what became almost an Australian standard, as locomotives of similar design served in large numbers in South Australia (as the SAR Y class) and Tasmania (as the TGR C class), and also in Queensland, on the North Australia Railway, and on several private railways. The class remained in service in significant numbers until the 1960s. Several have been preserved, including G 233 ''Leschenault Lady'' and G 123 ''Koombana Queen'', both of which remained on the WAGR's books well into the diesel era. ==See also== * History of rail transport in Western Australia * List of Western Australian locomotive classes * MRWA G class – a class of diesel-electric locomotives also designated as the WAGR G 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 G class」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
