The Tasmanian Government Railways L class was a class of 2-6-2+2-6-2 Garratt steam locomotives operated by the Tasmanian Government Railways.
History[]
In 1912, the Tasmanian Government Railways took delivery of two 2-6-2+2-6-2 Garratt locomotives from Beyer, Peacock & Co, Manchester. They were designed to haul freight trains, however did on occasions haul passenger trains. Both of them were withdrawn in 1930 after the Q class had entered service. However, a motive power shortage during World War II saw both overhauled and returned to service in 1943. Both were withdrawn again when they were both replaced by the Australian Standard Garratts in 1945.
