The WAGR F class was a class of 4-8-0 heavy goods steam locomotives operated by the Western Australian Government Railways between 1902 and 1970. A total of 57 were built in three batches, fifteen in 1902, twelve in 1912 and thirty in 1913. The first batch was built by Dübs and Company, and the other two by its successor, the North British Locomotive Company. T.F. Rotheram, the railways' chief mechanical engineer from 1900 to 1903, designed the class as an enlarged version of the New Zealand Railways B class, which he had directed in 1896. It was introduced to replace the K class on the Eastern Goldfields Railway and was replaced on main lines after the Second World War by the S and V classes. Two have been preserved.
