City of Johannesburg ?

Post by Andreas Umnus »

I was just watching some pictures of your 15F 3117 (which looks very nice) and I saw a sign on her with the name "Pretoria".
So when I was in George at the Railway museum I took a photo of a sign saying "City of Johannesburg".
I thought it is/was a name of a train but after I saw the pictures of the 15F I think it was also on a steam engine.
But which steam engine had the name "City of Johannesburg" ?

A number of locos carried these names. I think the last was 15F 3153 from Millsite, which is now abandoned in Cape Town.

Thank you for the info. I din't assume that more than one locomotive had the name.
