CSAR Railmotor
The Central South African Railways Railmotor of 1907 is a South African steam railmotor locomotive from the pre-Union era in the Transvaal.
In 1907 the Central South African Railways acquired a single self-contained Railmotor for the low-volume railmotor passenger service that had been introduced the previous year. The predecessor vehicle was a railmotor engine that consisted of a single 19 Tonner 0-4-2T locomotive, modified and semi-permanently coupled to a modified 3rd Class side-door passenger coach that was equipped with a driving cab at the rear. On the new railmotor the passenger coach was an integral part of the locomotive itself.〔''CSAR General Manager's Reports'', Extracts from the CSAR General Manager's Reports for 1906, 1907, 1908 & 1909.〕〔19 Tonner Information supplied by John Nicholas Middleton〕
==Railmotor service==
In January 1905 an order had been placed by the Central South African Railways (CSAR) with Kitson and Company for two self-contained railmotors, of which only one was eventually delivered in 1907. While awaiting delivery, it was decided to construct a railmotor engine at the Pretoria Works, consisting of a light 19 Tonner 0-4-2T locomotive and a fifty-two seat side-door 3rd Class suburban coach. The locomotive was modified and semi-permanently coupled to the coach, which was modified to contain a driving cab at the rear end, with the controls arranged so that the push-pull unit could be driven from either vehicle. The locomotive was reclassified as a Railmotor Engine and renumbered M1. The CSAR railmotor service was put into operation in April 1906 and operated between Rissik in Johannesburg and Wonderboom in Pretoria.〔〔〔
