The East African Railways 29 class was a class of oil-burning 2-8-2 steam locomotives for 1,000 mm gauge track, based upon the Nigerian Railways River class. Thirty-one were built for the East African Railways in two batches, of 20 and 11, by the North British Locomotive Company in Glasgow, Scotland. The engines were built to be gauge convertible, so that they could be changed from the 1,000 mm gauge of the East African system to 1,067 mm gauge. The article lists the number, build year and name of each member of the class, and links the class to the history of rail transport in Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda.
