The WAGR T class was a class of 4-4-0 steam locomotives operated by the Great Southern Railway (GSR) and later Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR).
In 1887, Beyer, Peacock & Co, Manchester built a batch of six locomotives for the GSR. These were followed by four built by Kitson & Co, Leeds. As with all GSR locomotives they were named and not numbered or given a class designation.
All were included in the December 1896 takeover of the GSR by the WAGR and became the T class, numbered T164 to T173. They operated services from Albany through to Perth.[1]
Withdrawals began in 1924 with the last remaining in service until 1952.
The numbers, names and periods in service of each member of the class were as follows:

The T class designation was reused in the 1960s when the T class diesel locomotives entered service.
