The East African Railways 30 class was a class of oil-burning 2-8-4 steam locomotives for 1,000 mm gauge track. The North British Locomotive Company in Glasgow, Scotland, built the class in 1955 for the East African Railways, and its design was derived from the 2-8-2 East African Railways 29 class, which was in turn based upon the Nigerian Railways River class. The 26 members of the class served their entire careers in Tanganyika, now Tanzania, one of the three territories served by the East African Railways. The article lists the number and name of each member of the class.
