Commonwealth Railways K class

The Commonwealth Railways K class was a class of eight 2-8-0 freight locomotives built in 1916 by the North British Locomotive Company in the United Kingdom for Commonwealth Railways in Australia. They were ordered to work freight trains on the Trans-Australian Railway, which was then under construction, and followed the design of the New South Wales Government Railways T class, later the D50 class, but with higher capacity tenders. All eight were delivered between March and June 1916. Most had been withdrawn by the early 1950s, and the last was withdrawn in March 1952 after the railway was dieselised.
