Title:
SAR Class GL 2351 (4-8-2+2-8-4)
Description:
During 1929 and 1930 the South African Railways placed eight Class GL Garratt articulated steam locomotives with a 4-8-2+2-8-4 wheel arrangement in service. Constructed at Beyer, Peacock and Company's Gorton Foundry, they were originally designed to work on the Durban to Cato Ridge section of the Natal mainline. They were numbered in the range from 2350 to 2357. Their tractive effort of 78,650 pounds-force (349.9 kilonewtons) at 75% boiler pressure made them the most powerful steam locomotives to be placed in service anywhere in the Southern Hemisphere at the time.
