CGR 3rd Class 4-4-0 1883
The Cape Government Railways 3rd Class 4-4-0 of 1883 was a South African steam locomotive from the pre-Union era in the Cape of Good Hope.
In 1882 the Cape Government Railways placed orders with Neilson and Company for eighteen 3rd Class tender locomotives with a 4-4-0 American type wheel arrangement. They were intended for fast passenger service on all three Cape systems and were delivered early in 1883.〔''C.G.R. Numbering Revised'', Article by Dave Littley, SA Rail May–June 1993, pp. 94-95.〕

Eighteen 4-4-0 American type tender passenger locomotives were delivered to the Cape Government Railways (CGR) from Neilson and Company in 1883, numbered in the range from W77 to W88 for the Cape Western system, numbers E15 and E16 for the Cape Eastern System and in the range from M80 to M83 for the Cape Midland system. They were ordered in 1882 for passenger service out of Cape Town, East London and Port Elizabeth respectively and were equipped with six-wheeled tenders.〔〔
One of the locomotives is known to have been named, no. M83 ''Sir Hercules'', after Hercules Robinson, 1st Baron Rosmead, who had succeeded Sir Henry Bartle Frere as High Commissioner for Southern Africa in 1880 and after whom two towns in South Africa were also named. The locomotives became known as the "Four-coupled Joys", from the Joy valve gear that they were equipped with. All these locomotives were later designated 3rd Class when a locomotive classification system was introduced by the CGR.〔
