CGR 3rd Class 4-4-0 1901

Steam and Early Locomotives

The Cape Government Railways 3rd Class 4-4-0 of 1901 was a South African steam locomotive from the pre-Union era in the Cape of Good Hope. In 1901 the railway placed six more 3rd Class Wynberg Tender locomotives with a 4-4-0 American type wheel arrangement in suburban service in Cape Town, a heavier and more powerful version of the 3rd Class of 1898. They were designed by H. M. Beatty and built by Sharp, Stewart and Company, numbered 6 to 11, with the largest coupled wheels on the railway to that date at 60 inches in diameter. In 1912 the South African Railways classed them as Class 03, and all six survived until about 1918, after which four of them ran until after 1931.
