Barokian locomotive class IC

The Barokian locomotive class IC was a class of 2-10-2 "Santa Fe" steam locomotives used by Barokiya Ralfshah in Barokia. It was introduced following Barokia's independence for mixed-traffic duties.

The class was designed specifically for high-ash imported coal by Railway Board designers in Barokia (hence the "IC" designation).

IC class locomotives were capable of doing up to 112 mph and were easily recognized by their cone-shaped bulging nose, usually with a silver star device attached to it.
