UR GD class
The UR GD class, known later as the UR / KUR EB3 class, and later still as the EAR 24 class, was a class of 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in) gauge 4-8-0 steam locomotives built for the Uganda Railway (UR). It was a larger and modified version of the earlier, experimental, UR GC class.[2]

The first batch of GD class engines entered service on the UR in 1923, and further batches entered service progressively, including after the UR was renamed the Kenya-Uganda Railway (KUR) in 1926.[3]
