context_page_description: The South West African Class Ha 0-6-2T of 1904 was a steam locomotive from the German South West Africa era.
  In 1904, the German administration in German South West Africa acquired ten Class Ha tank locomotives with a 0-6-2 wheel arrangement for lease to the Otavi Mining and Railway Company. Only one of these locomotives survived the First World War to be taken onto the roster of the South African Railways.
context_section_description: The locomotives were similar to the earlier Jung locomotives in dimensions, but had larger boilers. They used Allan valve gear. Their "Ha" class designation identified the locomotive type as the first class to have been built for GSWA by Henschel.
  One of these locomotives, no. 27, and possibly more were rebuilt in the Usakos Workshop for use on the Otavi Railway's fast passenger service by removing the side-tanks and coal bunker and coupling it to a tender. Similar modifications were done on two of the Jung locomotives.
