HistoryBetween 1920 and 1938 various locomotive builders supplied ESR with 180 2-6-0 tender locomotives,[5] of which 80 were of the 545 class. The initial order for 58 of this class was built in Britain in 1928. Of these, 40 came from the North British Locomotive Company in Glasgow, Scotland and 20 from Armstrong Whitworth in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England.[1][2] The design was very British in style, but in 1931 Borsig Lokomotiv Werke GmbH in Berlin, Germany supplied ESR with another 20 to the same design.[1][2] Numbers 551, 568, 573 and 596 were rebuilt in 1939 with Caprotti valve gear.[1] Number 590 was damaged at El Daba in June 1942 and withdrawn from stock in September 1943.[1] In ESR service all members of the class were painted green.[6] In August 1941 Palestine Railways started operating a through passenger service between Haifa and Cairo via El Kantara East and a newly completed swing bridge at El Ferdan; in 1942–43 number 560 had "The Orient Express" painted on the sides of its cab for hauling this service between Cairo and El Kantara East.[6] All standard gauge steam locomotives in Egypt were withdrawn by 1963.[7] 545 class in IsraelDuring the 1956 Israeli invasion of Sinai five members of the class were captured[4] on the former Palestine Railways main line between El Kantara East and Gaza: numbers 546, 550 and 557 (NBL works numbers 23683, 23687 and 23714) and numbers 607 and 613 (Borsig works numbers 13985 and 13991).[8] Israel Railways may have taken four of them into stock and used them around Lod in central Israel for one or two years.[4] They were withdrawn and scrapped by 1959, when steam traction on Israel Railways officially ceased.[4] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Proud & Smith, 1946, page 3 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Hughes, 1981, page 22 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Proud & Smith, 1946, page 5 4. ^1 2 3 Cotterell, 1984, page 101 5. ^Hughes, 1891, page 33 6. ^1 2 Proud & Smith, 1946, page 4 7. ^Hughes, 1891, page 15 8. ^Cotterell, 1984, page 137 Sources
