Harbour Board Table Bay 0-4-0T
The Harbour Board Table Bay 0-4-0T of 1874 is a South African steam locomotive from the pre-Union era in the Cape of Good Hope.
In 1847 the government of the Cape of Good Hope established harbour boards at its three major ports, Table Bay, Port Elizabeth and East London. While railway lines were laid at all these harbours, trains were for the most part initially hauled by oxen or mules.〔
Altogether seven Brunel gauge locomotives are known to have been employed on the Table Bay Harbour project between 1862 and 1904. The first steam locomotive to see service at any of these harbours was a Brunel gauge engine that was placed in service on breakwater construction at Table Bay Harbour in 1862. The third Table Bay harbour construction locomotive was a side-tank engine that entered service in 1874.〔〔
==The harbour boards==
When the need for improved harbour facilities for the handling of ships and cargoes became apparent, the Cape Government established harbour boards at Table Bay, Port Elizabeth and East London in 1847. Each board initially consisted of five members, later increased to seven, and they were responsible for the management, control, improvement, development and maintenance of the facilities at these ports, and empowered to levy wharfage dues.〔
