South African Class 7F 4-8-0

Steam and Early Locomotives

The South African Railways Class 7F 4-8-0 of 1913 was a group of three Mastodon type steam locomotives, the last Cape 7th Class engines of the New Cape Central Railway, which placed them in service in 1913 as its numbers 9 to 11. The North British Locomotive Company built them to order that year. When the New Cape Central Railway was amalgamated into the South African Railways in 1925 they were renumbered 1357 to 1359 and designated Class 7F. One was still shedded at Touws River in 1953 to work the Ladismith branch and two sister engines had been withdrawn and scrapped in April 1950.
