List of Victorian locomotive classes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of Victorian locomotive classes, being classes of locomotive that have worked on railways in Victoria.

The majority of Victorian steam locomotive classes were operated by the Victorian Railways (VR). Regularly scheduled steam working ceased on VR mainline operations after 25 May 1972[1] - with only special excursion or enthusiasts trains being hauled by steam after that time.

Other significant operators include the State Transport Authority (STA), the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA), the Public Transport Corporation (PTC), V/Line, Freight Victoria/Freight Australia (FA), and Pacific National (PN). Many private organisations also operated steam locomotives in Victoria.
