CGR Blackie 9 (0-4-2WT)
Description:
In September 1859 Messrs. E. & J. Pickering, contractors to the Cape Town Railway and Dock Company for the construction of the Cape Town-Wellington Railway, imported a small 0-4-2WT well-tank steam locomotive from England for use during the construction of the railway. This locomotive, later to become the Cape Town-Wellington Railway’s engine number 9, was the first locomotive in South Africa. In 1872 the Cape Government took over the operation of all railways and the Cape Town-Wellington and Salt River-Wynberg lines were amalgamated into the Cape Government Railways. No. 9 remained on the Wellington line until June 1874, when it was shipped to the Kowie to assist with construction at the Port Alfred harbour.

NZASM 46 Tonner 61 Roos (0-6-4T)
Description:
Between 1893 and 1898 one hundred and seventy-five 46 Tonner 0-6-4T tank steam locomotives were placed in service by the Nederlandsche-Zuid-Afrikaansche Spoorwegmaatschappij (NZASM) in the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek (ZAR). In 1899 twenty more were ordered, of which only two were delivered by the time the Boer War broke out and the Imperial Military Railways (IMR) took over all railway operations in the ZAR. The other eighteen locomotives in this order were delivered directly to the IMR, who diverted two of them to Lourenço Marques. They were built in twelve batches by the Maschinenfabrik Esslingen in Germany (who designed the locomotive) and the Nederlandse Fabriek van Werktuigen en Spoorwegmaterieel (Werkspoor) in Holland. They were numbered in the range from 61 to 237 by the NZASM and also named, while the eighteen commandeered locomotives were numbered 238 to 255 by the IMR. At the end of the war the surviving locomotives were taken onto the roster of the Central South African Railways, renumbered and reclassified to Class B, while the two in Mozambique were taken onto the roster of the Caminhos de Ferro de Mocambique. In 1912, when the remaining locomotives were assimilated into the South African Railways, they were renumbered again but retained their Class B classification.

SAR Class 3E E201
Description:
In 1947 and 1948 the South African Railways placed twenty-eight Class 3E electric locomotives with a Co+Co wheel arrangement in service. Designed by Metropolitan-Vickers and built by Robert Stephenson and Hawthorns, they were numbered in the range from E191 to E218. Unlike later electric locomotives that used separate steam heating wagons on passenger service, the Class 3E had an integral steam boiler for train heating.

SAR Class 5E E348 (Series 2)
Description:
In 1957 and 1958 the South African Railways placed forty-five Class 5E, Series 2 electric locomotives with a Bo-Bo wheel arrangement in main line service, numbered in the range from E319 to E363. The locomotives were ordered from English Electric, who subcontracted their building to Vulcan Foundry. The Class 5E gave a rough ride, which soon earned them the nickname balstamper.

SAR Class GDA 2257 (2-6-2+2-6-2)
Description:
In 1929 the South African Railways placed five Class GDA Garratt articulated steam locomotives with a 2-6-2+2-6-2 wheel arrangement in branch line service. The locomotive was built to the same specifications and was, for all intents and purposes, identical to the Class GD in its main dimensions. The main differences were the use of bar frames instead of plate frames, differently shaped coal and water bunkers, and a round-top firebox instead of a Belpaire firebox. They were ordered from Linke-Hofmann Werke AG in Breslau, Germany in 1929 and numbered 2255 to 2259 upon delivery.

SAR Class GL 2351 (4-8-2+2-8-4)
Description:
During 1929 and 1930 the South African Railways placed eight Class GL Garratt articulated steam locomotives with a 4-8-2+2-8-4 wheel arrangement in service. Constructed at Beyer, Peacock and Company's Gorton Foundry, they were originally designed to work on the Durban to Cato Ridge section of the Natal mainline. They were numbered in the range from 2350 to 2357. Their tractive effort of 78,650 pounds-force (349.9 kilonewtons) at 75% boiler pressure made them the most powerful steam locomotives to be placed in service anywhere in the Southern Hemisphere at the time.

Description:
In 1954 the South African Railways placed twenty-five Class GO light branch line Garratt articulated steam locomotives with a 4-8-2+2-8-4 wheel arrangement in service. They were built by Henschel and Son in 1953 and were numbered in the range from 2572 to 2596. The Class GO was very similar to the Class GMA, the chief differences being aimed at reducing weight, such as a smaller boiler with a reduced diameter, a smaller firebox and grate area and a half ton smaller capacity coal bunker. The locomotive carried water in its front tank only and the water supply was augmented by semi-permanently coupling a purpose-built Type X-20 auxiliary tank wagon to the locomotive.
