The South African Railways Class 6L 4-6-0 of 1904 was a pair of bar-framed steam locomotives, the last 6th Class engines of the Cape Government Railways. The railways ordered them from Neilson, Reid and Company in 1903, the year Neilson, Reid merged with Dübs and Company and Sharp, Stewart and Company to form the North British Locomotive Company, so although built at the former Neilson, Reid Hyde Park works they were delivered with NBL works numbers 15889 and 15888. They became Class 6L when the colonial railways were assimilated into the South African Railways in 1912, worked the Cape mainline, and were withdrawn and scrapped in 1934.
