The WAGR O Class was a 2-8-0 type steam locomotive built for the Western Australian Government Railways in 1896. They were tender locomotives, but also featured short boiler side tanks for additional water storage useful in the long distance required by operation in Western Australia's country lines.
The type shared much in common with the N Class suburban tank engines, also of the WAGR, and 10 O class were rebuilt as N class locomotives in 1907/08. The last examples of the O class was withdrawn from service in 1962. [1]
