Victorian Railways R class
The R class was an express passenger steam locomotive that ran on Victorian Railways from 1951 to 1974. A long overdue replacement for the 1907-era A2 class 4-6-0, they were almost immediately superseded by the introduction of mainline diesel-electric and electric locomotives on the VR from 1952 onwards.
