CLASS 24 LOCOMOTIVE NO. 3655 "JENNY"

The beautifully restored Class 24 locomotive no 3655 will haul our train on the Heritage Weekend in September 2023. This steam locomotive was built in 1943. It was designed by Dr. MM Loubscher, Chief Mechanical Engineer of the South African Railways, and was built by North British Locomotive company of Glasgow.
100 of these Class 24 locomotives were ordered by the South African Railways and were put to use on the lighter branch lines throughout South Africa & Namibia.

In the latter years, “Jenny” provided years of service for Atlantic Rail’s tourist train on the scenic Cape Town – Simon’s Town railway line.
