The MRWA A class was a class of 2-8-2 steam locomotives built by Kitson & Co. in Leeds, England, for the Midland Railway of Western Australia (MRWA).
The first three members of the A class, nos A21–A23, entered service in 1926. Two further batches of A class units followed, nos A24–A26 in 1927 and A27–A29 in 1929. [1]
Withdrawals began in 1957, with A25 being the first to go. The others were withdrawn in 1958, and all were sold and cut up for scrap in 1959. [1]
