The Table Bay Harbour 0-4-0ST of 1881 is a South African steam locomotive from the pre-Union era in the Cape of Good Hope.

Between 1881 and 1904, sixteen 0-4-0 saddle-tank locomotives entered shunting and construction service at the Table Bay Harbour in Cape Town. Three of them were built to Brunel gauge for breakwater construction, while the rest were all built to Cape gauge for use as dock shunters. They were taken onto the Cape Government Railways roster in 1908 and, when the South African Railways was established, thirteen were still in stock.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Manufacturers

Sixteen 0-4-0 saddle-tank locomotives were acquired by the Table Bay Harbour Board in Cape Town between 1881 and 1904, for use in construction and shunting work at the Table Bay Harbour. They were delivered in five batches, from three manufacturers.^[3]

Three locomotives were delivered from Black, Hawthorn & Co. in 1881. Two of them were built to 7 ft ¹⁄₄ in (2,140 mm) Brunel gauge, for service as breakwater construction engines on the Table Bay Harbour improvement project, and were numbered 4 and 5. The project had been started in 1860 and involved the excavation of two basins and the construction of breakwater piers. The third locomotive, no. 6, was built to 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) Cape gauge, for service as dock shunter at Table Bay Harbour.^[1]^[3]^[4]
Between 1890 and 1893, they were followed by four more locomotives from the same manufacturer. Three of them, numbered 1, 7 and 9, were Cape gauge for use as dock shunters, while the fourth one, no. 8, was Brunel gauge for use on breakwater construction.^[1]^[3]^[4]
Two more locomotives followed from Black, Hawthorn in late 1895 or early 1896, both Cape gauge and numbered 10 and 11.^[3]
During 1896, the firm of Black, Hawthorn was taken over by Chapman and Furneaux, who delivered another six of these locomotives in 1897 and 1898, all built to Cape gauge and numbered in the range from 12 to 17.^[1]^[3]
In 1904, a single 0-4-0ST locomotive, no. 29, was delivered from Hawthorn Leslie and Company. Although it is not known, it is possible that it was built to the same design as the aforementioned fifteen locomotives since, when Chapman and Furneaux closed, its drawings, patterns and goodwill were bought by Hawthorn, Leslie.^[5]

Service

Table Bay Harbour Board

By the time the broad gauge Table Bay Harbour construction railway was closed in 1904, no. 4 was no longer reflected in the Table Bay Harbour Board's locomotive register. There is a possibility that it could have been transferred to East London Harbour, where Brunel gauge was still in use for breakwater construction at the time, only being removed c. 1909. This has, however, not been confirmed.^[3]^[4]

The other two, no. 5 and no. 8, were possibly then regauged to Cape gauge and also put to work as dock shunters in Table Bay Harbour. This has also not been confirmed and, since no. 5 was scrapped in 1913 while no. 8 was sold as scrap to Vaggens & Company in May 1907, regauging was probably not done.^[3]^[4]

Cape Government Railways

By 1908, no. 1 was already either scrapped or sold. The remaining thirteen locomotives were all taken onto the Cape Government Railways (CGR) roster in 1908. They retained their original Harbour Board numbers while in CGR service.^[3]

South African Railways

When the Union of South Africa was established on 31 May 1910, the three Colonial government railways (CGR, Natal Government Railways and Central South African Railways) were united under a single administration to control and administer the railways, ports and harbours of the Union. Although the South African Railways and Harbours came into existence in 1910, the actual classification and renumbering of all the rolling stock of the three constituent railways required careful planning and was only implemented with effect from 1 January 1912.^[6]^[7]

Chapman & Furneaux-built no. 11, c. 1912

By 1912, thirteen of these locomotives survived, but they were considered obsolete and excluded from the South African Railways (SAR) classification and renumbering program. While twelve of them were listed in the notes to the renumbering lists as having been excluded, no. 15 was not mentioned. They were initially staged in a shed in Cape Town, but appear to have been placed back in service, since a number of them survived into the mid-1930s before being scrapped.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[7]

Obsolete locomotives on the SAR had the numeral "0" prefixed to their existing numbers, although on these engines it appears that new number plates to that effect were never affixed to them. In the SAR era, no. 09 was transferred to Mosselbaai Harbour and two, no. 010 and no. 014, went to Port Elizabeth Harbour. No. 15, which was not mentioned in the SAR renumbering lists of 1912, was sold to Lourenco Marques Forwarding Agency in Mozambique in 1913 and employed in the Lourenco Marques docks. The rest remained in service in Table Bay Harbour.^[1]^[3]
