The '''Indian locomotive class WL''' of 1955 was a class of light [[axle load]] [[4-6-2]] "Pacific" type [[steam locomotive]]s used on {{Track gauge|5ft6in|lk=on}} [[broad gauge]] lines in India between 1955 and 1995.<ref name=Marshall-IBGSR-90-93>[[#Marshall-IBGSR|Marshall 2009]], pp. 90-93.</ref> A total of 109 of them were built in two batches.<ref name=Marshall-IBGSR-93>[[#Marshall-IBGSR|Marshall 2009]], p. 93.</ref><ref name=Hughes-SII-27>[[#Hughes-SII|Hughes 1976]], p. 27.</ref>

The first batch, of 10 engines, was built by [[Vulcan Foundry]] in [[Newton-le-Willows]], [[Lancashire]], England, in 1955. The second, main, batch, totalling 94 engines, was built in India by the [[Chittaranjan Locomotive Works]] between 1966 and 1969.<ref name=Hughes-SII-27/>

The WL class of 1955 is not to be confused with the [[Indian locomotive class WL (1939)|WL class of 1939]], all of which went to Pakistan upon [[Partition of India|partition]] in 1947.<ref name=vulcan-brochure/>{{sfn|Hughes|1990|pp=78, 84}} The two classes bore no resemblance to each other according to Vulcan.<ref name=vulcan-brochure/>
