WAGR M class (1875)
The WAGR M class were built by Kitson & Coy of Leeds, England in 1875 for the Northern Railway from Geraldton to Northampton, this being the first government railway in Western Australia. Both engines were used extensively on this line due to its isolation from the rest of the system and the failure of the E class. On the Northern Railway, they were numbered 1 and 2 but were renumbered to 23 and 24 in 1891.
