On the 9th March 2016, this SAR Class 24 No. 3693, a 2-8-4 built by the North British Locomotive Company Ltd. in Glasgow in 1949, is seen at the Transnet Steam Heritage Depot at Voorbaai, Mossel Baai, in the Western Cape. A number of steam locomotives are stored at the Depot and following a recent assessment by Depot staff, certain locomotives have been identified to be kept, while others will be scrapped. Unfortunately No. 3693 was identified to be scrapped, which is being undertaken on site, as depicted in this photograph.
