EAR 30 class


The EAR 30 class was a class of oil-burning gauge steam locomotives. The class was built in 1955 by North British Locomotive Company in Glasgow, Scotland, for the East African Railways. Its design was derived from the EAR 29 class, which, in turn, was based upon the Nigerian Railways River class.
The 26 members of the class served their entire careers in Tanganyika/Tanzania, one of the three territories/countries served by the EAR.
