SAR Class 25NC 3440 (4-8-4)
Title:  SAR Class 25NC 3440 (4-8-4)
Description:  Between 1953 and 1955 the South African Railways placed fifty Class 25NC locomotives with a 4-8-4 Northern wheel arrangement in service. Eleven Class 25NC locomotives, numbers 3401 to 3411, were built by North British Locomotive Company and thirty-nine, numbers 3412 to 3450, by Henschel and Son. The Class 25NC is the non condensing version of the Class 25 condensing locomotive, of which ninety were placed in service at the same time. Between 1973 and 1980 all but three of the condensing locomotives were converted to non condensing and also classified as Class 25NC.
