District Railway steam locomotives

By 1925 two locomotives remained for departmental use and in the following year one of these was replaced by a Metropolitan Railway A Class.

The boiler pressure was 120 psi (830 kPa), the front wheels were on a Bissel truck and fitted with 40 cubic feet (1.1 m3) bunker.

[1] To reduce smoke underground, at first the Metropolitan had used coke, but after 1869 this was changed to smokeless Welsh coal.

[4] A total of fifty four locomotives were purchased and still in service in 1905 when the line was electrified.
