The South African Railways Class G 4-8-2T of 1904 was a steam locomotive from the pre-Union era in the Colony of Natal. In 1904 the Natal Government Railways placed 25 Class E 4-8-2T tank locomotives in service, and in 1912 they were renumbered and designated Class G. The first locomotive designed for the railways by D.A. Hendrie was a 4-8-2 tank locomotive built by the newly established North British Locomotive Company in the former Dubs shops in Glasgow, Scotland, and the 25 were numbered 250 to 274. They were known on the Natal railways as the Dubs B or Improved Dubs even though Dubs had by then merged into the new company. They first worked mainline corridor trains out of Durban, and the last pair left shunting service around Pietermaritzburg in 1962.
