South African Class 10 4-6-2

Steam and Early Locomotives

The South African Railways Class 10 4-6-2 of 1904 was a steam locomotive from the pre-Union era in Transvaal Colony. In July 1904 the Central South African Railways placed fifteen Class 10 locomotives with a 4-6-2 Pacific wheel arrangement in service, and when they were assimilated into the South African Railways in 1912 they were renumbered but kept their Class 10 designation. Designed by the Central South African Railways chief locomotive superintendent P.A. Hyde, the fifteen passenger locomotives were ordered from the North British Locomotive Company and delivered in 1904. They were eventually relegated to shunting until they were scrapped in 1971 and 1972, after 68 years in service, and three rebuilt examples survive in preservation.
