The Egyptian Republic Railways 4211 class was a class of 0-6-0 diesel shunter introduced on Egyptian Republic Railways (now Egyptian National Railways) in the 1950s. Arnold Jung Lokomotivfabrik in Jungenthal, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany built the first batch of 15 in 1953 and the second batch of 27 in 1955–56.[1]
During the 1956 Israeli invasion of Sinai number 4239 (Jung works number 21646) was captured in Sinai[3] on the former Palestine Railways line between El Kantara East and Gaza. It was taken into Israel Railways and renumbered 251.[2] It was little used and in about 1970 it was scrapped.[3]
