Main article: South African steam locomotive tenders
The Type YE tender first entered service in 1901, as tenders to the first four 6th Class 2-6-2 Prairie type steam locomotives of the Cape Government Railways, which were soon modified to a 2-6-4 Adriatic wheel arrangement. These locomotives were designated Class 6Z on the South African Railways in 1912.[1][2][3]
