The Indian locomotive class XD was a class of 2-8-2 Mikado type steam locomotives used on the 5 ft 6 in broad gauge lines of India, a standard freight design of the Indian Railway Standard series. In Pakistan the class is known as the CWD class. Its builders included Vulcan Foundry, Armstrong Whitworth, which delivered eleven, Skoda Works and the North British Locomotive Company, and it is the parent of two similar wartime designs, the AWD class made by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in the Second World War period and the CWD class made by the Canadian Locomotive Company and the Montreal Locomotive Works, which together were the largest imported class by number.
