The Kenya-Uganda Railway EC2 class, later known as the East African Railways 52 class, was a class of ten 1,000 mm gauge 4-8-2+2-8-4 Garratt-type articulated steam locomotives. The ten members were ordered by the Kenya-Uganda Railway and, unusually, were built by the North British Locomotive Company in Glasgow, Scotland, instead of Beyer, Peacock and Company, which built all of the railway's other Garratt locomotives. The whole class entered service in 1931, and its members were later operated by the railway's successor, the East African Railways, in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. The article lists the numbers and build dates of each member.
