South Australian Railways D class

Steam and Early Locomotives

The South Australian Railways D class was a class of 4-4-0 steam locomotives built by Robert Stephenson and Company for the South Australian Railways. Two were delivered in August 1859 for use on the Gawler to Kapunda line, and a further six followed between 1862 and 1867. The first was withdrawn in February 1896 and three more went in 1904. The remaining four worked construction trains on the Pinnaroo line and were then used as shunters, with the last withdrawn in November 1932.
