The Nigerian Railway River class locomotive had a 2-8-2 wheel arrangement.
The first were built in 1947 by Vulcan Foundry, and several additional orders were delivered in later years by different manufacturers.[1]
They were fitted with Vacuum brakes supplied by the Vacuum Brake Company.
Similar locomotives were built for Malawi and East Africa.
