Locomotives of the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway

The locomotives of the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway can be broken down into four eras:

The railway had a locomotive, carriage and wagon works at Highbridge, Somerset, but this closed in 1930. Note that the locomotive history of the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway is complicated by the many reboilerings, rebuildings, and renumberings, not all of which are captured in the table.
