CGR 1st Class 4-4-0T

The Cape Government Railways 1st Class 4-4-0T of 1875 was a South African steam locomotive of the pre-Union era in the Cape of Good Hope. Seven 4-4-0 side-tank engines were built for the Cape Government Railways by Robert Stephenson and Company in 1875 and placed in service on the Western and Midland systems, and four practically identical tank-and-tender engines followed in 1880 from Neilson and Company. They were the first Cape gauge mainline engines in South Africa, with inclined outside cylinders and Stephenson link motion, and they worked passenger and mixed goods trains before being relegated to shunting. Two were sold to a private suburban line in Cape Town in 1887.
