The '''Indian locomotive class WL''' of 1939 was a class of {{Whyte|4-6-2}} "Pacific"-type [[steam locomotive]]s used on {{Track gauge|5ft6in|lk=on}} [[broad gauge]] lines in [[British India]], and then in post-[[Partition of India|partition]] Pakistan.{{sfn|Hughes|1990|pp=78, 84}}

== Classes ==
The four members of the class were built for the [[North Western Railway (British India)|North Western Railway (of British India)]] by [[Vulcan Foundry]] in [[Newton-le-Willows]], [[Lancashire]], England, in 1939, and were delivered the following year.{{sfn|Hughes|1990|pp=78, 84}}<ref name=vulcan-brochure/> Upon the partition of India in 1947, they all went to Pakistan.{{sfn|Hughes|1996|p=87}}

The class WL of 1939 is not to be confused with the [[Indian locomotive class WL (1955)|Indian locomotive class WL of 1955]], the first ten members of which were also built by Vulcan Foundry.{{sfn|Hughes|1990|pp=78, 84}}<ref name=vulcan-brochure/> According to Vulcan Foundry's publicity material, the two classes bore no resemblance to each other.<ref name=vulcan-brochure/>
