Viewing Album: South African Steam Locomotives
By:
Col André Kritzinger
Dates:
12/31/2016 - 12/31/2016
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 25 3537 (4-8-4)
Description:
Between 1953 and 1955 the South African Railways placed ninety Class 25 condensing steam locomotives with a 4-8-4 Northern wheel arrangement in service. Henschel and Son built one locomotive complete with tender, number 3451, while North British Locomotive Company built the rest of the Class 25 locomotives, numbers 3452 to 3540. The Class 25NC is the non condensing version of the Class 25 condensing locomotive, of which fifty 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. In the process their condensing tenders were also rebuilt to ordinary coal-and-water tenders by removing the condensing radiators and roof fans and replacing it with a massive round-top water tank.

Description:
In 1949 and 1950 the South African Railways placed one hundred Class 24 branch line locomotives with a 2-8-4 Berkshire wheel arrangement in service.

The cast engine main frames and the Buckeye bogies for the tenders were supplied by General Steel Castings of Eddystone, Pennsylvania and they were built with Watson Standard no. 1 boilers and Vanderbilt torpedo type tenders that ran on three axle Buckeye bogies.

SAR Class 14R 1745 (4-8-2)
Description:
Between 1913 and 1915 the South African Railways placed forty-five Class 14 steam locomotives with a 4-8-2 Mountain wheel arrangement in service. Designed by D.A. Hendrie, it was a development of the Class 12 and was similar enough to it that many components were interchangeable. It was ordered from Robert Stephenson and Company in 1913 and was delivered in three batches between 1913 and 1915, numbered in the range from 1701 to 1745. All the Class 14 locomotives were eventually reboilered with Watson Standard no. 2 boilers and reclassified to Class 14R.

SAR Class 19D 2701 (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 GMAM 4128 (4-8-2+2-8-4)
Description:
Between 1954 and 1958 the South African Railways placed one hundred and twenty Class GMA branch line and Class GMAM mainline Garratt articulated steam locomotives with a 4-8-2+2-8-4 wheel arrangement in service. This was the most numerous Garratt class in the world and was built in four batches by Henschel and Son, Beyer, Peacock and Company and North British Locomotive Company. Numbered in the range from 4051 to 4170, the light rail branch line Class GMA and mainline Class GMAM Garratt locomotives were identical and their water and coal capacities were adjusted to suit the rail capacity by installing or removing plates in the coal and water spaces. The locomotive carried water in its front tank only and the water supply was augmented by semi-permanently coupling a purpose-built Type X-20 auxiliary tank wagon to the locomotive.

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.

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 GMAM 4079 (4-8-2+2-8-4)
Description:
Between 1954 and 1958 the South African Railways placed one hundred and twenty Class GMA branch line and Class GMAM mainline Garratt articulated steam locomotives with a 4-8-2+2-8-4 wheel arrangement in service. This was the most numerous Garratt class in the world and was built in four batches by Henschel and Son, Beyer, Peacock and Company and North British Locomotive Company. Numbered in the range from 4051 to 4170, the light rail branch line Class GMA and mainline Class GMAM Garratt locomotives were identical and their water and coal capacities were adjusted to suit the rail capacity by installing or removing plates in the coal and water spaces. The locomotive carried water in its front tank only and the water supply was augmented by semi-permanently coupling a purpose-built Type X-20 auxiliary tank wagon to the locomotive.

The Class 15F was the most numerous steam locomotive class in South African Railways service. Between 1938 and 1946 two hundred and fifty-five of these steam locomotives with a 4-8-2 Mountain wheel arrangement were placed in service, built in four batches by four manufacturers (Berliner Maschinenbau, Henschel and Son, North British Locomotive Company and Beyer, Peacock and Company). They were numbered in the range from 2902 to 3156. The pre-war Class 15Fs were hand fired, but the British built locomotives were all converted to mechanical stoking by the late 1940s. The post-war locomotives were all delivered with mechanical stokers.
