The South African Railways 0-4-0T no. 69 is a steam locomotive from the South African Railways era. A single second-hand 0-4-0 tank locomotive was bought by the South African Railways in 1941 and employed as harbour shunting engine in Cape Town. The engine had until then been used as construction locomotive by the contractors who undertook the construction of the new Table Bay harbour. ==Origin== When the old Table Bay harbour in Cape Town became inadequate to cope with the vast increase in shipping, a contract was awarded to the ''Hollandse Anneming Maatschappij Eiendoms Beperk'' to construct a new harbour. Work to reclaim ground on the Foreshore and build new and deeper docks began in 1938, and the contractors brought out a small tank locomotive to use on site for general haulage work. The locomotive's arrival date is not known, but it was removed from Dutch boiler records in October 1939.〔(Railway History Group of Southern Africa, Bulletin no. 114, January 2013: Notes on Cape Town Harbour Extension Contracts, by John Middleton )〕〔 The locomotive had been built by Orenstein & Koppel in Berlin in 1909, originally as a gauge locomotive for the ''Fix Söhne Bauunternehmung'' in Meiderich. It was later regauged to Cape gauge and transferred or sold to the Dutch contractors.〔〔Bude, Roland; Fricke, K.; Murray, M. (1978). '' O&K-Dampflokomotiven.
