South African Class S 0-8-0 : ウィキペディア英語版 | South African Class S 0-8-0
The South African Railways Class S 0-8-0 of 1929 is a steam locomotive. In 1929 the South African Railways placed fourteen purpose-built steam shunting locomotives with a 0-8-0 wheel arrangement in service. ==Background== Throughout the history of the South African Railways (SAR), shunting was traditionally performed by downgraded mainline locomotives. Considering the enormous amount of shunting performed, the number of purpose-built shunting locomotives on the SAR roster in the steam era was remarkably low, amounting to only one hundred and fifty-one locomotives on a railway whose steam stock at one stage reached a maximum of nearly 2,800 locomotives.〔 When it did eventually introduce purpose-built shunting locomotives, the SAR preferred to adhere to the American practice of using tender locomotives for shunting, rather than the European practice of using tank locomotives.
