The UR MS class, known later as the KUR MS class, later still as the KUR EE class, and finally as the EAR 10 class, was a class of 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in) gauge 2-6-4 T steam locomotives built by Nasmyth, Wilson and Company in Patricroft, Salford, England, for the Uganda Railway (UR).
Service history
The eight members of the class entered service on the UR as its MS class in 1913–14. They continued in service after the UR was renamed the Kenya-Uganda Railway (KUR) in 1926, and were reclassified as the KUR EE class in 1929. They remained in service with the KUR, and, in 1949, became part of the fleet of the KUR's successor, the East African Railways (EAR). The EAR later reclassified them as its 10 class; they were withdrawn in the 1960s.
