South African Class 7B 4-8-0 : ウィキペディア英語版 | South African Class 7B 4-8-0
The South African Railways Class 7B 4-8-0 of 1900 is a steam locomotive from the pre-Union era in the Transvaal. In 1900 the Imperial Military Railways placed twenty-five Cape 7th Class Mastodon type steam locomotives in service. In that same year, three Cape 7th Class locomotives that had been ordered by the Pretoria-Pietersburg Railway were also placed in service. All these locomotives were taken on to the Central South African Railways roster at the end of the Second Boer War in 1902. In 1906 three of these locomotives were sold to the Natal Government Railways. In 1912 twenty-six of these twenty-eight locomotives were assimilated into the South African Railways. They were followed in 1913 by the remaining two that had been leased to Paulings as construction locomotives. All but one of these locomotives were renumbered and reclassified to Class 7B. In 1915 one more Cape 7th Class locomotive was obtained from the Rhodesia Railways and erroneously also classified as Class 7B.〔〔〔〔Classification of S.A.R.

As possession was obtained of the lines of the Orange Free State and the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek, the Oranje-Vrijstaat Gouvernement-Spoorwegen (OVGS) and the Nederlandsche-Zuid-Afrikaansche Spoorweg-Maatschappij (NZASM) were combined into the Imperial Military Railways (IMR), in the hands of military and civilian staff appointed by the Director of Railways for the South African Field Forces, Lieutenant Colonel E.P.C. Girouard, KCMG, DSO, RE.〔
