South Australian Railways 750 class

The South Australian Railways 750 class was a class of 2-8-2 steam locomotives operated by the South Australian Railways.

With an acute shortage of motive power following World War II, the South Australian Railways were able to purchase 10 Victorian Railways N class locomotives in 1951 which had been in service for only a few months.

They replaced Rx class locomotives on branch line services particularly over the light lines in the Murray Mallee radiating from Tailem Bend.

[1] 752 is the sole survivor of the class, being placed in the Mile End Railway Museum in April 1967.
