The South African Railways Class H1 4-8-2T of 1903 is a steam locomotive from the pre-Union era in the Transvaal. In 1902, towards the end of the South African War, the Imperial Military Railways placed thirty-five tank locomotives in service, built to the specifications of the Reid Tenwheeler of the Natal Government Railways. At the end of the war, these locomotives came onto the roster of the Central South African Railways and became its Class E. Six of these locomotives were then converted to tank locomotives and in 1912, with the establishment of the South African Railways, the five survivors of these six were classified as Class H1.〔South African Railways and Harbours Locomotive Diagram Book, 2’0” & 3’6” Gauge Steam Locomotives, 15 August 1941, pp21 & 21A, as amended〕〔Classification of S.A.R.

Reid, the Locomotive Superintendent of the NGR at the end of the 19th century. On the NGR the locomotive type became known as the Reid Tenwheeler.〔〔
