The J class were steam locomotives with the wheel arrangement of 2-6-0 that were built in 1874 to operate on the railway network of New Zealand. They should not be confused with the more famous J class of 1939. The original J class was the first class of locomotive in New Zealand to have a tender; all previous classes were tank engines.
