context_page_description: The Dᴰ class was a passenger and mixed traffic steam locomotive that ran on Victorian Railways from 1902 to 1974. Originally introduced on mainline express passenger services, they were quickly superseded by the much larger A² class and were relegated to secondary and branch line passenger and goods service, where they gave excellent service for the next fifty years. The Dᴰ design was adapted into a 4-6-2T tank locomotive for suburban passenger use, the Dᴰᴱ class. They were the most numerous locomotive class on the VR, with a total of 261 Dᴰ and 58 locomotives built.
