The locomotive was operated by the Cape Government Railways (CGR) which initially ran the Imvani-Indwe Railway which operated a branch line from Sterkstroom to the Indwe Collieries in the Eastern Cape. It was eventually taken into CGR stock and became the Eastern System’s number 743.
It later became SAR number 1029 in 1912 following the establishment of the South African Railways (SAR).
