The '''Indian locomotive class XC''' was a class of heavy [[axle load]] {{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]] India and Pakistan.<ref name=Hughes-SII-15/><ref name="Marshall-IBGSR-36,40,47–48,51–54">[[#Marshall-IBGSR|Marshall 2009]], pp. 36, 40, 47–48, 51–54.</ref>

The 72 members of the class were built in the United Kingdom between 1928 and 1931, some of them by [[William Beardmore and Company|William Beardmore & Co]] in [[Glasgow]], Scotland, and the rest by [[Vulcan Foundry]] in [[Newton-le-Willows]], [[Lancashire]], England.{{sfn|Hughes|1990|pp=14, 27, 46, 59, 80}}{{sfn|Hughes|1996|p=24}}

Upon [[partition of India]] in 1947, a total of 22 members of the class went to Pakistan.{{sfn|Hughes|1996|p=87}} The other 50 remained in India.{{sfn|Hughes|1990|p=14}}

==Preservation==
None of the XC's have survived preservation but while Colin Garratt visited the railways once, he recalls one was attempted to be hidden from scrappers torch but plans to save the last XC came to a naught when it was soon found and cut up, however it is unknown if any railway enthusiasts will ever build a replica of one, note to fact that India is poor and doesn't or can't afford money to make new builds, or should enthusiasts look to England to build one, but however this has never been started,
