A railway line between Salt River and Wynberg, constructed with private capital, was opened to the public on 19 December 1864. Three tank locomotives with a 2-4-0 wheel arrangement were acquired as motive power for the line, one by the Wynberg Railway Company and the other two by the Cape Town Railway and Dock Company, who undertook to rent and operate the Wynberg line.〔''Blackie'', Article by D. Littley, SA Rail September–October 1989, p. 133.〕 In 1872, the locomotives came onto the roster of the Cape Government Railways, when it took over the operation of all railways in the Cape of Good Hope. They remained in service on this line until after its conversion to dual broad-and-Cape gauges, from around 1872, and were retired in 1881 when sufficient Cape gauge locomotives were in service. ==Wynberg Railway== While the broad gauge Cape Town-Wellington line was still being built, the independent Wynberg Railway Company was formed. It constructed a broad gauge line to Wynberg from a junction with the Wellington line at Salt River. Work commenced on 19 December 1862 and the line was completed and opened to traffic two years later to the day, on 19 December 1864. The company acquired one side-tank locomotive from Robert Stephenson and Company and named it after Mr. Watson, the general manager. When the Cape Government Railways was established, this locomotive became its engine no. 12.〔 The locomotive had its cylinders arranged outside the engine frame and was equipped with Stephenson Link valve gear.〔Espitalier, T.J.; Day, W.A.J.
