Two 0-4-0 saddle-tank locomotives named ''Thebus'' and ''Stormberg'' that were originally built for the Irrigation Department of the Public Works Department of the Cape of Good Hope in 1903, were acquired by the South African Railways in 1916 for use as harbour shunting engines. In railway service they were named instead of being classified and numbered. ==Origin== During World War I, when the South African Railways (SAR) experienced an acute shortage of locomotive power, it acquired a number of locomotives from private concerns and other government departments.〔〔 The Public Works Department (PWD) of the Cape Province had two locomotives, used by the Irrigation Department, that it could spare. These two were donated to the SAR in 1916. Numbered l and 2 by the PWD, they were saddle-tank locomotives that had been built by Hudswell, Clarke and Company Limited in 1903.〔〔〔Hardy, Clive.
