axle load4-6-2 "Pacific" type
steam locomotives used on
5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm)
broad gauge lines in India between 1955 and 1995.[2] A total of 109 of them were built in two batches.[3][4]
The WL class of 1955 is not to be confused with the
WL class of 1939, all of which went to Pakistan upon
partition in 1947.[1][5] The two classes bore no resemblance to each other according to Vulcan.[1]
