Cape Town Railway & Dock 2-4-0T

The Cape Town Railway & Dock 2-4-0T of 1864 was a South African steam locomotive of the pre-Union era in the Cape of Good Hope. Three 2-4-0T locomotives were acquired as motive power for the Salt River to Wynberg line, which opened on 19 December 1864: one by the Wynberg Railway Company, from Robert Stephenson and Company, and two identical engines delivered early in 1865 to the Cape Town Railway and Dock Company, also from Robert Stephenson and Company. They had outside cylinders and Stephenson link valve gear. The Cape Government Railways took them over in 1872, and they were retired in 1881, when enough Cape gauge locomotives were in service, and their boilers were reused as stationary boilers.
