The South African type YB tender was a steam locomotive tender from the pre-Union era in the Cape of Good Hope.
The Type YB tender entered service in 1893, as tenders to the first 6th Class 4-6-0 Tenwheeler type steam locomotives to be acquired by the Cape Government Railways. These locomotives were designated Class 6 on the South African Railways in 1912.[1][2][3]
Type YB tenders were built by Dübs and Company in 1893 and 1894.[1]
The Cape Government Railways (CGR) placed its first forty 6th Class 4-6-0 Tenwheeler type steam locomotives in service in 1893 and 1894. The locomotive and tender were designed in 1892 at the Salt River works in Cape Town, under the supervision of Western System Locomotive Superintendent H.M. Beatty.[1][2][3]
The Type YB entered service as tenders to these locomotives, which were distributed between the Western and Midland Systems of the CGR. In 1912, these locomotives were designated Class 6 on the South African Railways (SAR).[1][2][3]
