The Commonwealth Railways C class was a class of passenger locomotives built in 1938 by Walkers Limited, Maryborough, for the Commonwealth Railways, Australia.Following the extension of Commonwealth Railways' standard gauge line from Port Augusta to Port Pirie in 1937, and with increasing loads being hauled on the Trans-Australian Railway, an order was placed with Walkers Limited, Maryborough for eight 4-6-0 passenger locomotives to the same design as the New South Wales Government Railways' C36 class, but with higher capacity tenders.
