context_page_description: The South African type CZ tender was a condensing steam locomotive tender.
  Type CZ tenders entered service between 1953 and 1955, as tenders to the Class 25 4-8-4 Northern type condensing steam locomotives which entered service on the South African Railways in those years. One more tender was built by the Railways in 1963.
context_section_description: Altogether 91 Type CZ tenders were built in 1953 and 1963 by Henschel and Son, North British Locomotive Company (NBL) and the South African Railways (SAR).
  Between 1953 and 1955, the SAR placed ninety Class 25 condensing steam locomotives in service, designed under the direction of L.C. Grubb, Chief Mechanical Engineer of the SAR from 1949 to 1954.
  The design work on the locomotive's condensing apparatus and the Type CZ condensing tender was carried out by Henschel, who built one locomotive complete with tender, no. 3451 with works number 28730. This locomotive was then dispatched to NBL in Glasgow, who built the rest of the Class 25 locomotives, numbered in the range from 3452 to 3540. They were delivered between 1953 and 1955.
  Apart from the first engine and tender, another 60 tenders were built by Henschel, who held the patent, with works numbers in the range from 28780 to 28839. Another 29 tenders were built by NBL, who also built 89 of the 90 engines. The works numbers of these NBL-built tenders probably corresponded with the works numbers of the last 29 engines, in the range from 27372 to 27400, but this cannot be verified. One more tender was built by the SAR at its Salt River shops in 1963, on a spare cast water-bottom frame which had been delivered as part of the original order in 1953.
