In 1879 and 1880 the Cape Government Railways placed ten 2-6-0 Mogul type locomotives, built by Beyer, Peacock and Company, in freight service on the Cape Western system. They were also designated 1st Class when a classification system was adopted.〔''C.G.R. Numbering Revised'', Article by Dave Littley, SA Rail May–June 1993, pp. 94-95.〕 ==Manufacturer== Six 2-6-0 Mogul type tender goods locomotives were delivered to the Cape Government Railways (CGR) from Beyer, Peacock and Company in 1879, numbered in the range from W27 to W32 for the Western System. Another four were delivered the following year, numbered in the range from W39 to W42. Like the Beyer, Peacock and Avonside locomotives of 1876 and the pre-modification Kitson locomotives of 1876, they were equipped with six-wheeled tenders.〔〔 While they were similar in appearance to the locomotives of 1876, there were some major differences. The steam dome was located further forward from the cab, similar to that of the Kitson locomotives. The leading wheels were located much further forward from the coupled wheels at a wheelbase, compared to on the Beyer, Peacock and Avonside locomotives of 1876. In addition, the cylinders were mounted at a downward inclination towards the driving wheelset.〔 While they were also acquired as goods locomotives, they were used on all kinds of traffic. All these locomotives were later designated when a locomotive classification system was introduced by the CGR.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CGR 1st Class 2-6-0 1879」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
