The '''WAGR D class''' was a single member class of [[0-4-0ST]] [[tank locomotive]] operated by the [[Western Australian Government Railways]] (WAGR) from 1884 until 1903.
==History==
The D class locomotive was built in 1884 by [[Hunslet Engine Company]], [[Leeds]]. It entered service on 1 March 1884 as a jetty shunter on the [[Fremantle Long Jetty]]. When engine class designations were introduced in 1885, it was numbered D6.{{sfn|Gunzburg|1984|p=25}}
Upon the opening of [[Fremantle Harbour|Fremantle's inner harbour]] in 1897, the long jetty ceased to be used, and the locomotive became surplus to requirements. It was sold in September 1903 for use on the 2.5 mile [[Leonora, Western Australia|Leonora]] tramway. Following the electrification of that tramway in 1908, it was sold to [[Bunnings Warehouse|Bunning Brothers]], reboilered, had its saddle tank removed and a tender built hauled timber hauling times trains at [[Lyalls Mill, Western Australia|Lyalls Mill]], Argyle, Muja and Tullis until withdrawn in 1951 and scrapped in 1956.{{sfn|Gunzburg|1984|pp=25–26}}
==Namesakes==
The D class designation was reused for the [[WAGR D class|D class]] locomotives from 1912 and again in the 1970s when the [[WAGR D class (diesel)|D class]] diesel locomotives entered service.
