The South African Railways Class 8D 4-8-0 of 1903 was a steam locomotive from the pre-Union era in the Cape of Good Hope. In 1903, once the first batch of 8th Class 4-8-0 Mastodon locomotives had proved successful, the Cape Government Railways placed another 38 in service, six on the Western System, twenty on the Midland System and twelve on the Eastern System, and in 1912 they became Class 8D of the South African Railways. While they were being built, Neilson, Reid amalgamated with Dubs and Company and Sharp, Stewart and Company to form the North British Locomotive Company, so the last four were delivered as built by it. They ended their days shunting and were all withdrawn by 1972.
