The South African Railways Class GO 4-8-2+2-8-4 of 1954 is an articulated steam locomotive. In 1954 the South African Railways placed twenty-five Class GO light branchline Garratt articulated steam locomotives with a 4-8-2+2-8-4 Double Mountain type wheel arrangement in service. It was the last new steam locomotive type to be acquired by the Railways.〔South African Railways and Harbours Locomotive Diagram Book, 2’0” & 3’6” Gauge Steam Locomotives, 15 August 1941, as amended〕 ==Manufacturer== The Class GO 4-8-2+2-8-4 Garratt locomotive was designed to operate on lighter rails. The designs were prepared in 1952 under the supervision of L.C. Grubb, the Chief Mechanical Engineer (CME) of the SAR from 1949 to 1954, and an order for twenty-five of these locomotives was placed with Henschel and Son in Germany, immediately following on the order for the first batch of the Class GMA Garratt that was built by the same manufacturer. They were built in 1953 and were delivered and placed in service in 1954, numbered in the range from 2572 to 2596.〔〔Henschel-Lieferliste (Henschel & Son works list), compiled by Dietmar Stresow〕 The Class GO turned out to be the last new steam locomotive type to be acquired by the Railways before full scale electrification and dieselisation commenced. The Class 5E mainline electric locomotive entered service a year after the Class GO, and the Class 31-000 diesel-electric locomotive in 1958.〔
