The Highland Railway E Class was a class of steam locomotive, specifically, passenger 4-4-0s of David Jones design. They were also known as the 'Clyde Bogies' as they were built by the Clyde Locomotive Works in Glasgow, Scotland (the first locomotives built by that enterprise).
They first appeared in 1886 and were a derivative of Class F.

No 79 was withdrawn early in 1924 and stored at Aviemore until called for breaking up.
