The South African Railways Class 8A 4-8-0 of 1902 is a steam locomotive from the pre-Union era in the Transvaal. In 1902 the Imperial Military Railways placed forty Cape Eighth Class Mastodon type steam locomotives in service. In that same year, when the Central South African Railways was established, they were designated Class 8-L1. In 1912, when they were assimilated into the South African Railways, they were renumbered and reclassified to Class 8A. ==Manufacturers== Due to the shortage of locomotives brought about by wartime conditions during the Second Freedom War, the Imperial Military Railways (IMR) placed orders for forty Cape Eighth Class locomotives with two Scottish locomotive manufacturers in 1901. They were built to the specifications of the 8th Class Mastodon type designed by H.M. Beatty, the chief locomotive superintendent of the Cape Government Railways (CGR) from 1896 to 1910, and were the last locomotives to be ordered under the military administration.〔〔〔Neilson, Reid works list, compiled by Austrian locomotive historian Bernhard Schmeiser〕 With the cessation of hostilities in June 1902, the working of all railways in the Transvaal and Orange Free State was handed over to civil control. On 1 July 1902 the IMR became the Central South African Railways (CSAR) and the forty locomotives therefore came onto the CSAR roster, where they were designated Class 8-L1. The twenty built by Neilson, Reid and Company were numbered in the range from 401 to 420, and the twenty by Sharp, Stewart and Company were numbered in the range from 421 to 440.〔〔〔〔Classification of S.A.R.
