NZASM 14 Tonner 0-4-0T
The Nederlandsche-Zuid-Afrikaansche Spoorweg-Maatschappij 14 Tonner 0-4-0T of 1889 is a South African steam locomotive from the pre-Union era in the Transvaal.
In 1889 the Nederlandsche-Zuid-Afrikaansche Spoorweg-Maatschappij obtained its first five locomotives with a 0-4-0T wheel arrangement for use on the new line that was being constructed from Johannesburg to Boksburg. Since the railway classified its locomotives according to their weight, these side-tank locomotives were known as the 14 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, the of the (ZAR), also known as the Transvaal Republic, granted a concession to the Nederlandsche-Zuid-Afrikaansche Spoorwegmaatschappij (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, became known as the "Randtram" line 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.

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.〔
