Melbourne and Hobson's Bay United Railway Company 4-4-0WT (1871)

This was a group of six 4-4-0WT passenger steam locomotives built by Robert Stephenson and Company for the Melbourne and Hobson's Bay United Railway Company, an early private railway operator in Victoria, Australia. The first arrived on 13 June 1871 and is possibly the first bogie engine in Victoria, and a final two ordered in February 1877 arrived on 1 February 1878. When the company was taken over by the Government in 1878 the six passed to the Victorian Railways, where they were later known as the Victorian Railways C class. The class was expanded by another twenty locomotives built locally by Robinson Brothers and the Phoenix Foundry. The first was withdrawn on 9 April 1904 and the last on 19 February 1916.
