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 8D 1220 (4-8-0)
Title:  SAR Class 8D 1220 (4-8-0)
Description:  In 1903, when the first batch of 8th Class 4-8-0 Mastodons had been tried and proven successful, the Cape Government Railways placed another thirty-eight 8th Class 4-8-0 steam locomotives in service, built by Neilson, Reid and Company and North British Locomotive Company, which was established through the amalgamation of Neilson, Reid with Dübs and Company and Sharp, Stewart and Company while the locomotives were being built. In 1912, when they were assimilated into the South African Railways, they were renumbered and reclassified to Class 8D. In the 1930s fourteen of these locomotives were equipped with superheated boilers, 20 inches (508 millimetres) bore cylinders and inside admission piston valves, and reclassified to Class 8DW.

SAR Class 14R 1745 (4-8-2)
Title:  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 14CRB 1778 (4-8-2)
Title:  SAR Class 14CRB 1778 (4-8-2)
Description:  Between 1918 and 1922 the South African Railways placed seventy-three Class 14C steam locomotives with a 4-8-2 Mountain wheel arrangement in service, built by Montreal Locomotive Works and numbered in the ranges 1761 to 1780, 1881 to 1900, 1991 to 2010 and 2026 to 2038. Through reboilerings and rebalancings during its service life this single class eventually ended up as six different locomotive classes. During the 1930s six were reboilered with Watson Standard no 2 boilers and reclassified to Class 14CR. Over time most of the Class 14C family of locomotives were "rebalanced" to either reduce or increase the axle load and adhesion weight. The lighter axle load branch line version was reclassified to Class 14CB and when they were subsequently reboilered, to Class 14CRB. The heavier axle load mainline version was reclassified to Class 14CM and when they were reboilered, to Class 14CRM.
