UR GB class

The Uganda Railway GB class, known later as the UR / KUR EB1 class and later still as part of the EAR 22 class, was a class of 34 steam locomotives with a 4-8-0 wheel arrangement and a gauge of 1,000 mm, built by the North British Locomotive Company in Glasgow, Scotland, for the Uganda Railway. The design of the GB was based on that of the earlier UR G class. The locomotives entered service in 1919 and stayed in use after the Uganda Railway was renamed the Kenya-Uganda Railway in 1926. Some of them lasted long enough to be operated by its successor, the East African Railways, as part of its 22 class from 1948, and the last ones were withdrawn in 1964.
