The UR G class, known later as the UR / KUR GA class, and later still as the KUR EB class, was a class of 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) gauge 4-8-0 steam locomotives built by Nasmyth, Wilson and Company in Patricroft, Salford, England, for the Uganda Railway (UR). The seven members of the class entered service on the UR in 1914, and continued in service after the UR was renamed the Kenya-Uganda Railway (KUR) in 1926.^[2]
