SAR Class 16DA 850 (4-6-2)         
In 1928 the South African Railways placed six Class 16DA steam locomotives with a 4-6-2 Pacific wheel arrangement in passenger train service. Eight more were placed in service in 1929 and another six in 1930, numbered in the ranges 843 to 850 and 868 to 879. They were built in two variants, the early narrow firebox versions by Hohenzollern Locomotive Works and Baldwin Locomotive Works and the later wide firebox versions by Henschel and Son.
