What is WAGR Ja class?
{{no sources|date=October 2023}} The '''WAGR Ja class''' were a total of 3 [[Steam locomotive|steam]] [[Locomotive|locomotives]] operated by the [[Western Australian Government Railways]] from 1907 to 1924. The Ja class resulted from the rebuilding of the [[WAGR J class|J class]] at [[Midland Railway Workshops]] in 1907 to improve performance, fitting them with [[WAGR Q class (1895)|Q class]] boilers left over from [[WAGR Qa class|Qa class]] conversions, the frames of the J class having to be extended to accommodate for the boilers. In this form, the locos steamed better and reportedly did good work on mixed trains. By 1913 the Ja designation was abolished reverting back to the J class as all original locos had been converted. All were withdrawn in early 1924 and after repairs were sold off into the timber industry. [[Category:Western Australian Government Railways locomotives]] {{Transport-stub}} {{Technology-stub}}
