Album Info:One picture of every South African steam locomotive I've ever photographed, A to Z arranged by class and loco number, starting with old Blackie and the Class NG locomotives and ending with some industrial and mining steam locomotives as well as other weird and wonderful items that I have come across. Unfortunately, I started with this way too late to catch most of them still alive and barking. I am receiving assistance from fellow railfans in the attempt to post a picture of each and every SA locomotive, most notably from Charles Baker.

SAR Class 16E 858 (4-6-2)
Title:  SAR Class 16E 858 (4-6-2)
Description:  In 1935 the South African Railways placed six Class 16E steam locomotives with a 4-6-2 Pacific wheel arrangement in passenger train service. The locomotive was designed by Chief Mechanical Engineer A.G. Watson and built by Henschel and Son in Kassel, Germany. Six locomotives were delivered in 1935, numbered in the range from 854 to 859. It used rotary cam poppet valve gear driven by outside rotary shafts and had 72 inches (1,830 millimetres) diameter driving wheels, the largest ever used on any rail gauge narrower than 4 feet 8½ inches (1,440 millimetres).

SAR Class 19C 2439 (4-8-2)
Title:  SAR Class 19C 2439 (4-8-2)
Description:  In 1935 the South African Railways placed fifty Class 19C steam locomotives with a 4-8-2 Mountain wheel arrangement in service. They were built by North British Locomotive Company and were numbered in the range from 2435 to 2484. These locomotives were delivered with Watson Standard no. 1A boilers and used Rotary Cam Poppet valve gear. The Poppet valves made the Class 19C a very free-running locomotive, although it required special maintenance techniques.

SAR Class 19D 2506 (4-8-2)
Title:  SAR Class 19D 2506 (4-8-2)
Description:  Between 1937 and 1949 the South African Railways placed two hundred and thirty-five Class 19D locomotives with a 4-8-2 Mountain wheel arrangement in service, built in four batches by five manufacturers (Friedrich Krupp AG, Borsig Lokomotiv Werke, Škoda Works, Robert Stephenson and Hawthorns, and North British Locomotive Company). Between 1951 and 1953 thirty-three more were built by Henschel and Son for other operators like Rhodesia Railways, Benguela Railway in Angola and the Nkana and Wankie mines. The South African Class 19D, nicknamed Dolly, was numbered in the ranges 2506 to 2545, 2626 to 2770 and 3321-3370. The first batch of pre-war Krupp built locomotives were delivered with domeless boilers. The post-war batch of North British built locomotives were delivered with Vanderbilt type torpedo tenders with cylindrical water tanks that ran on three axle Buckeye bogies. Since the Watson Standard no. 1A boilers and the tenders were interchangeable, the domeless boilers and torpedo tenders migrated over time between the different batches of Dollies and even to other members of the Class 19 family.

SAR Class 19D 2711 (4-8-2)
Title:  SAR Class 19D 2711 (4-8-2)
Description:  Between 1937 and 1949 the South African Railways placed two hundred and thirty-five Class 19D locomotives with a 4-8-2 Mountain wheel arrangement in service, built in four batches by five manufacturers (Friedrich Krupp AG, Borsig Lokomotiv Werke, Škoda Works, Robert Stephenson and Hawthorns, and North British Locomotive Company). Between 1951 and 1953 thirty-three more were built by Henschel and Son for other operators like Rhodesia Railways, Benguela Railway in Angola and the Nkana and Wankie mines. The South African Class 19D, nicknamed Dolly, was numbered in the ranges 2506 to 2545, 2626 to 2770 and 3321-3370. The first batch of pre-war Krupp built locomotives were delivered with domeless boilers. The post-war batch of North British built locomotives were delivered with Vanderbilt type torpedo tenders with cylindrical water tanks that ran on three axle Buckeye bogies. Since the Watson Standard no. 1A boilers and the tenders were interchangeable, the domeless boilers and torpedo tenders migrated over time between the different batches of Dollies and even to other members of the Class 19 family.

SAR Class 23 2556 (4-8-2)
Title:  SAR Class 23 2556 (4-8-2)
Description:  In 1938 and 1939 the South African Railways placed one hundred and thirty-six Class 23 locomotives in service. The Class 23 was South Africa’s last and largest 4-8-2 Mountain locomotive, designed by Chief Mechanical Engineer W.A.J. Day and built in four batches by Berliner Maschinenbau and Henschel and Son in Germany. They were numbered in the ranges from 2552 to 2571 and 3201 to 3316. Since these locomotives were intended for working in the Karoo where good quality water is a scarce resource, they were equipped with very large tenders with a high water capacity that rode on six wheeled bogies.

Title:  SAR Class 23 3300 (4-8-2)
Description:  In 1938 and 1939 the South African Railways placed one hundred and thirty-six Class 23 locomotives in service. The Class 23 was South Africa’s last and largest 4-8-2 Mountain locomotive, designed by Chief Mechanical Engineer W.A.J. Day and built in four batches by Berliner Maschinenbau and Henschel and Son in Germany. They were numbered in the ranges from 2552 to 2571 and 3201 to 3316. Since these locomotives were intended for working in the Karoo where good quality water is a scarce resource, they were equipped with very large tenders with a high water capacity that rode on six wheeled bogies.
