Indian locomotive class XC

The Indian locomotive class XC was a class of heavy axle load "Pacific" type steam locomotives used on broad gauge lines in British India, and then in post-partition India and Pakistan.
The 72 members of the class were built in the United Kingdom between 1928 and 1931, some of them by William Beardmore & Co in Glasgow, Scotland, and the rest by Vulcan Foundry in Newton-le-Willows, Lancashire, England.
Upon partition of India in 1947, a total of 22 members of the class went to Pakistan. The other 50 remained in India.
The last example, XC 22224, survived in service as the last British-built express 4-6-2 locomotive in regular work until 1981, when it was stored Burdwan, India. It was last sighted in December 1981 and was scrapped sometime afterward.
