What is WAGR G class?
{{no sources|date=October 2023}} [[File:Locomotive G123.jpg|thumb|G class No. 123 in 2011 at the [[Hotham Valley Railway]].]] The '''WAGR G class''' were a total of 48 [[Steam locomotive|steam]] [[Locomotive|locomotives]] operated by the [[Western Australian Government Railways]] (WAGR) from 1889 to the 1960s. The [[wheel arrangement]] of the G class were originally [[2-6-0]]s for the first 24 engines, however, the later 24 were built as [[4-6-0]]s. The G class entered service between 1889 to 1899 both as new and second-hand, the design was almost identical to other [[government]] [[Rail transport|railways]]' such as the [[Tasmanian Government Railways]] [[TGR C class|C class]], [[South Australian Railways]] [[SAR Y class|Y class]] and also used in [[Queensland]], and the [[Northern Territory]] on the [[North Australia Railway]] during the [[World War II|second world war]], with 13 being loaned to the [[Commonwealth Railways]], becoming the [[Commonwealth Railways Nfc class|Nfc]] and [[Commonwealth Railways Nga class|Nga]] classes. The design was also popular for [[Sawmill|timber mill]] operations around [[Western Australia]]. Withdrawals began in the 1960s, though No. 123 is still owned by [[Transwa]] (the successor to the WAGR). Five of the G class are preserved, those being No. 53, 117, 118, 123, and No. 233 which is operational at the [[South West Rail and Heritage Centre, Western Australia|South West Rail and Heritage Centre]] in [[Boyanup, Western Australia|Boyanup]], and is named ''Leschenault Lady''. Locomotives of identical design used by timberlines are also preserved. [[Category:Western Australian Government Railways locomotives]] {{Transport-stub}} {{Technology-stub}}
