This ex-Natal Government Railways Kitson locomotive 4-6-0T dates back to 1879, and at one point was the oldest working steam locomotive in South Africa. Before being "preserved" at Sanrasm she was in the employ of Escom before ending her days in Randfontein. She was proclaimed a national monument on 26 April 1983 after more than a century of service.
NGR: 1879-1910. SAR/SAS: 1910-1913, Victoria Falls and Transvaal Power Company: 1913-1948, Escom: 1948-1983. Sanrasm 1983-2010. More on the history of Kitty can be found at Old Steam Locomotives in South Africa. After years of neglect at Sanrasm she was reclaimed by Eskom in December 2010 and returned to Rosherville for restoration.
