The WAGR N class were a total of 11 diesel-electric locomotives operated by the Western Australian Government Railways (trading as Westrail) from 1977 to 1997.
The N class were built from 1977 to 1979 by Commonwealth Engineering of Bassendean for mineral traffic in the southeast of Western Australia. Withdrawals started in the early 1990s, with the last withdrawn in 1997.
From 1982 to 1983 several were fitted with Westinghouse air brakes, becoming the Na class, two Na class were converted to standard gauge in early 1995, becoming the Nb class. All 11 units have been scrapped, with the last disposed of in 2022.
