The '''Indian locomotive class WT''' was a class of {{whyte|2-8-4|T}} heavy [[tank locomotive]]s used on {{Track gauge|5ft6in|lk=on}} [[broad gauge]] lines in India from 1960.<ref name=Hughes-SII-31>[[#Hughes-SII|Hughes 1976]], p.&nbsp;31.</ref><ref name=Marshall-IBGSR-90,145-146>[[#Marshall-IBGSR|Marshall 2009]], pp.&nbsp;90, 145–146.</ref> These locomotives were built to operate local trains in Eastern Railways zone on Howrah to Burdwan main line.<br />
<br />
The thirty members of the WT class were designed in India,<ref name=Marshall-IBGSR-90>[[#Marshall-IBGSR|Marshall 2009]], p.&nbsp;90.</ref> and built by [[Chittaranjan Locomotive Works]], [[Chittaranjan]], in [[Burdwan District]], [[West Bengal]], India.{{sfn|Hughes|1996|pp=14, 23}}<br />
