The South African Railways Class 4 4-8-2 of 1911 was a pair of Mountain type steam locomotives from the pre-Union era in the Cape of Good Hope. They were the first 4-8-2 engines of the Cape Government Railways, designed as heavy mixed traffic locomotives at the Salt River shops by H.M. Beatty, the Chief Locomotive Superintendent from 1896 to 1910. The North British Locomotive Company built the two and delivered them in March 1911, and they were renumbered and designated Class 4 when the colonial railways were assimilated into the South African Railways a year later. They were withdrawn from service by 1938.
