NZASM 10 Tonner 0-4-0T
The Nederlandsche-Zuid-Afrikaansche Spoorweg-Maatschappij 10 Tonner 0-4-0T of 1889 is a South African steam locomotive from the pre-Union era in the Transvaal.
In 1889 and 1890 the Nederlandsche-Zuid-Afrikaansche Spoorweg-Maatschappij obtained three tramway steam locomotives with an 0-4-0 wheel arrangement for use on the new line from Johannesburg to Boksburg that became known as the Randtram line. Since the railway classified its locomotives according to their weight, these tank locomotives were known as the 10 Tonners.
==The Randtram line==
As a result of the rapid development of the goldfields on the Witwatersrand in the 1880s and the demand for coal by the growing industry, a concession was granted to the Nederlandsche-Zuid-Afrikaansche Spoorweg-Maatschappij (Netherlands-South African Railway Company, NZASM) on 20 July 1888 to construct a railway line from Johannesburg to Boksburg. The line, which was opened on 17 March 1890 with the first train being hauled by a 14 Tonner locomotive, became known as the "Randtram" even though it was actually a railway in every aspect and not singularly dedicated to tram traffic. This was the first working railway line in the Transvaal.〔〔The South African Railways - Historical Survey (Editor George Hart, Publisher Bill Hart, Sponsored by Dorbyl Ltd, Circa 1978)〕〔(A South African Railway History )〕
The concession was extended the following year to continue the line eastward to Springs, where coal was known to exist, and westward via Roodepoort to Krugersdorp. The entire line was opened to traffic on 10 February 1891.〔
