WAGR U class (1903)

The WAGR U class was a single member class of 0-6-0T tank locomotive operated by the Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR) from 1904 until 1940.

[1] The U class locomotive was built in 1903 by Vulcan Foundry, and was equipped initially with a crane jib with a three-ton capacity.

It entered service early the following year, as a shunter and mobile crane numbered U7 at the then new Midland Railway Workshops.

[2][3] In 1925, the locomotive was rebuilt and re-issued to traffic with the crane removed and the fuel and water capacity increased.
