The Indian locomotive class XC was a class of heavy axle load "Pacific" type steam locomotives used on broad gauge lines in British India, and then in post-partition India and Pakistan.[1] [2]
The 72 members of the class were built in the United Kingdom between 1928 and 1931, some of them by William Beardmore & Co in Glasgow, Scotland, and the rest by Vulcan Foundry in Newton-le-Willows, Lancashire, England.
Upon partition of India in 1947, a total of 22 members of the class went to Pakistan. The other 50 remained in India.
None of the XC's have survived into preservation.
