NZR JA class

The NZR JA class were a type of 4-8-2 steam locomotive used on the New Zealand railway network. The class was built in two batches, with the second batch possessing some differences from the first. The first batch was built at Hillside Workshops in 1946–56 and the second batch by the North British Locomotive Works in 1951. To distinguish between the batches, locomotives are identified by their maker. The class had relatively short lives of between 12 and 24 years, as they succumbed to dieselisation. Nine JAs lasted until the end of steam on 26 October 1971.
