In 1904 the Natal Government Railways placed twenty-five Class E tank steam locomotives in service. In 1912, when these locomotives were assimilated into the South African Railways, they were renumbered and reclassified to .〔South African Railways and Harbours Locomotive Diagram Book, 2’0” & 3’6” Gauge Steam Locomotives, 15 August 1941, pp21 & 21A, as amended〕〔 ==Manufacturer== The first locomotive to be designed for the Natal Government Railways (NGR) by D.A. Hendrie, who had succeeded G.W. Reid as Locomotive Superintendent of the NGR on 8 January 1903, was the Class E tank locomotive. It was built by the newly established North British Locomotive Company (NBL) in the former Dübs shops in Glasgow, Scotland.〔〔''The Railway Report for year ending 31 Dec. 1908'', Natal Government Railways, p. 39, par 14.〕 Twenty-five of these locomotives were delivered in 1904, numbered in the range from 250 to 274. Until they were designated Class E at some stage between 1904 and 1908, they were known on the NGR as the Dübs B even though Dübs and Company had already ceased to exist when they were built, having been merged into the NBL.〔〔〔North British Locomotive Company works list, compiled by Austrian locomotive historian Bernhard Schmeiser〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「South African Class G 4-8-2T」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
