0-4-2 Steam Locomotives in India

Indian Railways- East Indian Railway


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class YT (Locobase 21284)

Data from Krupp im Dienst der Dampflokomotive (Essen, Germany: 1940), p 100.. Works numbers were 1109-1110 in 1930.

Part of a series of Indian Standard Railway designs created in the mid-1920s to meet Indian railway requirements. This light passenger engine ran on the same wheel arrangement as the broad-gauge XT (Locobase 4264). Unlike that 77-member class, YT consisted only of the pair delivered to the North West Railways
