South Australian Railways J class

The South Australian Railways J class was a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotives operated by the South Australian Railways.

History

In April 1875 the South Australian Railways received two 0-6-0 locomotives that Beyer, Peacock & Co had originally built for an Irish operator. They entered service on the Adelaide to Kapunda line, later moving to the Terowie line. They were withdrawn in April 1929 and October 1934.
