GER Class G58
The GER Class G58 (LNER Class J17) was a class of 0-6-0 steam tender locomotives designed by James Holden for the Great Eastern Railway in England. The class consisted partly of new locomotives built from 1905 to 1911 and partly of rebuilds of the earlier GER Class F48 built from 1900 to 1903. The rebuilding started under GER auspices from 1921 and was continued by the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) after grouping in 1923.
History.
The earlier GER Class F48
would have been operated by small GER tank engines such as the GER Class R24 0-6-0T.
During World War I the auto-train service was worked by Great Eastern Railway Class Y65 (LNER Class F7) 2-4-2T.
Local goods services would have been typically worked by GER Class Y14 (LNER J15) and Class G58 (LNER Class J17) 0-6-0 locomotives in GER, LNER and the early British Railways years. Nearly all the locomotives would have been allocated to Stratford
