The Cape Government Railways 3rd Class 4-4-0 of 1903 was a South African steam locomotive from the pre-Union era in the Cape of Good Hope. In 1903 the railway placed the last eight 3rd Class Wynberg Tender locomotives in suburban service in Cape Town. They looked almost identical to the six engines of 1901, which Sharp, Stewart and Company had also built, but were heavier and more powerful, with a longer wheelbase, a larger tender, a higher boiler pitch, a boiler pressure raised from 165 to 180 pounds per square inch and a larger cylinder bore. They did well on the Simon's Town line and were classed 03 by the South African Railways in 1912.
