Title:
SAR Class 3R 1474 (4-8-2)
Description:
In 1909 the Natal Government Railways placed the world’s first true Mountain type locomotive in service when five Hendrie D Class 4-8-2 tender locomotives were commissioned. Twenty-five more were placed in service in 1911. In 1912, when they were assimilated into the South African Railways, they were renumbered in the number range from 1446 to 1475 and classified as Class 3. All except number 1457 were eventually reboilered with superheated Watson Standard no. 2 boilers and reclassified to Class 3R.
