CGR 0-6-0T

The Cape Government Railways 0-6-0T back-to-back of 1876 was a South African steam locomotive of the pre-Union era in the Cape of Good Hope. A pair of Stephenson's Patent locomotives, two 0-6-0T engines permanently coupled back to back at their cab ends so that one crew could work both, was ordered from Robert Stephenson and Company in 1875 for experimental purposes. They arrived at East London on 1 February 1876 as E5 and E6 and were tried against an experimental Fairlie locomotive on the King William's Town line. A third single engine, E7, followed in 1879. They were eventually separated, given tenders and used for shunting until they were scrapped in 1912.
