CGR 2nd Class 2-6-2TT

The Cape Government Railways 2nd Class 2-6-2TT of 1875 was a South African steam locomotive from the pre-Union era in the Cape of Good Hope. These were the first mixed traffic locomotives on the new 3 feet 6 inches Cape gauge mainlines, Prairie type side-tank engines delivered between 1875 and 1879, with four-wheeled tenders so that they could be run either as tank engines or as tank-and-tender engines. An order for six was placed with Robert Stephenson and Company, which later delivered nine more in 1878 and 1879, while others came from Avonside Engine Company and Kitson and Company. By 1904 only three were still in service, employed on shunting and construction tasks, and by 1912 none remained on the South African Railways.
