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.
