Locomotive Details Location/Date of Photo » South African Railways (more..) » 16E pacific (more..) » Between Kimberley and Modder River (more..) » Kimberley, South Africa (more..) » 1991 Locomotive No./Train ID Photographer » Unknown » Unknown » Alan-Crotty (more..) » Contact Alan-Crotty Remarks: 2x16Es steam out of the morning sun as they head a southbound freight from Kimberley to De Aar. The 16Es were built in 1935 by Henschel in Germany, they were a small class of only 6 machines. The locos had 72" drivers and poppet type valve gear. There is anecdotal evidence that some very high speed running was done with these engines, 90mph is often quoted, not bad form 3'6" gauge!

Posted by John West on March 30, 2007 Needless to say another WOW shot. But equally interesting to see 16E's on the Steel Kyalami, all I ever saw were Class 25's. Not that I was disappointed!
