In 1881 two Cape gauge saddle-tank locomotives with a 0-4-0 wheel arrangement were placed in service by Teague and Company, who operated Teague’s Tramway at the Kimberley diamond mine. In March 1885 one of them was purchased by the Cape Government Railways for use as a construction locomotive, while the other was sold to the Kimberley Diamond Mine. The Railways locomotive was nicknamed the ''Coffee Pot'' while serving as construction locomotive at Norvalspont.〔Email from John Middleton regarding the ''Coffee Pot''〕 ==Cape railways expansion== In 1876 the Cape Government Railways (CGR) was reorganised into three semi-autonomous systems, the Cape Western System headquartered in Cape Town, the Cape Midland System headquartered in Port Elizabeth and the Cape Eastern System headquartered in East London.〔 Construction of the two Cape Midland mainlines of the CGR commenced in 1874, one line from Swartkops in Port Elizabeth and the other from Uitenhage towards Graaff Reinet. The Swartkops line reached Alicedale in 1877, Cookhouse in 1880 and Cradock in 1881. At Rosmead the Cape Midland linked up with the Cape Eastern out of East London in 1883 and Noupoort was reached that same year. From Noupoort two lines were constructed. One headed northwestward and linked up with the Cape Western out of Cape Town at De Aar on 31 March 1884. The other was constructed northward via Colesberg towards the Orange Free State and, also in 1884, reached the Orange River at Norvalspont. Here a bridge had to be constructed across the Orange for the line from Colesberg to be continued to Springfontein.〔〔The South African Railways - Historical Survey.
