When size matters.
Built by Beyer, Peacock & Co Ltd, Gorton, Manchester in 1930 ( Beyer-Garratt) Number 2352 was used between Durban and Cato Ridge, South Africa between 1931 and 1938 to haul up sharp bends and steep gradients. 2352 weighs in at an impressive 214 tons. For those of you unsure of how heavy that is (including me). A male African Elephant comes in at 6tons, meaning this locomotive weighs the equivalent of 36 elephants!
