Zululand Railway 2-6-0 Locomotives in South_Africa


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 1 (Locobase 12464)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Vol 23, p. 185. Works numbers were 18565-18567 in January 1901.

Locobase has two entries with the same builders' information because Connelly's listing shows only one set and Baldwin's specs show two different orders.
