The WAGR had built 65 locomotives for express passenger trains becoming their E class. 1924/25 almost all the class fitted with superheated boilers becoming the Es class. They improved the Perth to Kalgoolie express trains. Later when more modern locos arrived they moved to freight and other duties. 308 was in service in 1903 and was the last Es class when withdrawn in 1963. Now preserved at Bassendean railway museum
