The TR GSL class was a class of 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in) gauge 0-4-0 T geared steam locomotives built by Sentinel Waggon Works in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England, for the Tanganyika Railway (TR). The eight members of the class entered service on the TR between 1929 and 1931. They were operated by the TR's successor, the East African Railways (EAR), from 1948 until the middle 1950s.
