The South African Railways Class 2 4-6-2 of 1905 was a pair of Pacific type steam locomotives from the pre-Union era in the Colony of Natal. The Natal Government Railways ordered them from the North British Locomotive Company in 1904 and placed them in service in 1905 as its Class A, numbered 325 and 326. D.A. Hendrie designed them for passenger traffic on the stretches of the mainline between Ladysmith and Charlestown that lacked very severe gradients. They became Class 2 when the colonial railways were united in 1912, were transferred for a short period to the Witwatersrand, and then worked the Komatipoort to Waterval Boven section until they were withdrawn by 1936.
