The R/RA Classes are diesel locomotives built by English Electric, Rocklea for the Western Australian Government Railways between 1968 and 1972.

History

In 1968 the Western Australian Government Railways took delivery of five narrow gauge versions of the K class for use on bauxite traffic, the last three were fitted with {{convert|6|t}} of ballast to improve their tractive effort. All were fitted with dynamic brakes. A further 11 were ordered, but without dynamic brakes. These were classified as the RA class. A further two RAs were financed by the Lefroy Salt Company for use over a {{convert|13|km|mi|adj=on}} spur off the Esperance line.[1][2][3][4]

In 1974 the RA1914, RA1917 and RA1918 were fitted with standard gauge bogies and renumbered KA211-KA213.[1][5] RA1918 has been preserved by Rail Heritage WA.[6]

R1902 was donated to Rail Heritage WA for preservation. However, due to its poor condition after suffering from prolonged vandalism, it was cut up.
