The Indian locomotive class WL of 1939 was a class of 4-6-2 "Pacific"-type steam locomotives used on 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm ) broad gauge lines in British India , and then in post-partition Pakistan.
Classes [ edit ]
The four members of the class were built for the North Western Railway (of British India) by Vulcan Foundry in Newton-le-Willows , Lancashire , England, in 1939, and were delivered the following year.[3] Upon the partition of India in 1947, they all went to Pakistan.
The class WL of 1939 is not to be confused with the Indian locomotive class WL of 1955 , the first ten members of which were also built by Vulcan Foundry.[3] According to Vulcan Foundry's publicity material, the two classes bore no resemblance to each other.[3]
