Commemorative Plaque of the Class 24 Steam Locomotive, Skukuza

A close-up of the official South African Railways plaque mounted on Locomotive No. 3638. The text details the engine's history, from its 1949 construction by the North British Locomotive Company to its final handover to the National Parks Board in 1978. This 2017 photograph captures the preserved technical specifications and the formal transition of this 118-metric-ton machine from a working transport vessel to a historical monument within the Kruger National Park.
