caption_attribution_description: English: NZASM (Nederlandsche-Zuid-Afrikaansche Spoorwegmaatschappij) 46 Tonner (0-6-4T) tank locomotive (subsequently SAR Class B locomotive), number 230 ”Jan Wintervogel”, at Witbank railway station, Transvaal (now Mpumalanga), South Africa in NZASM livery. This particular locomotive, manufactured by the German company Maschinenfabrik Esslingen was delivered to the South African Republic in 1898, the year before the outbreak of the Boer War.
context_page_description: The South African Railways Class B 0-6-4T of 1893 was a steam locomotive from the pre-Union era in Transvaal.
  Between 1893 and 1898, 175 46 Tonner 0-6-4 tank steam locomotives were placed in service by the Nederlandsche-Zuid-Afrikaansche Spoorweg-Maatschappij in the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek.
  In 1899, twenty more were ordered, of which only two were delivered by the time the Imperial Military Railways took over all railway operations in the two Boer Republics during the Second Boer War. The other eighteen locomotives in this order were intercepted by the Imperial Military Railways, who diverted two of them to Lourenço Marques.
  At the end of the war, the survivors of these locomotives were taken onto the roster of the Central South African Railways, renumbered and designated Class B, while the two in Mozambique were taken onto the roster of the Caminhos de Ferro de Mocambique. In 1912, when the remaining locomotives were assimilated into the South African Railways, they were renumbered again, but retained their Class B designation.
