WAGR Esl class

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The WAGR Esl class were express steam locomotives operated by the Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR).

The Esl resulted from fitting the Es class with larger 19-inch diameter cylinders. The 'l' suffix stands for 'large', with 's' meaning 'superheated', hence E class superheated large-cylinders or Esl. By the early 1940s, the Esl designation was folded into the Es designation like the Eso classification, though they continued with Esl modifications. None survived into preservation.
