USA Baldwin 2704 on Dar-es-Salaam shed.  The only non-articulated ex-Tanganyika Railways locomotives to be taken over by the EAR&H were the 4-8-2 RV Class which became the EAR 21 Class.  Two GA Class 4-8-2+2-8-4 Garratts, Arusha and Iringa became EAR 5301 and 5302 respectively.  The third member of the class was Bukoba which was scrapped by the TR in 1944 - PHOTO Alan Thompson

Garratt 6009, Sir Edward Twining. The driver and his fireman suffered only minor injuries when 6009 came to grief  in 1960 as the train was heading for Morogoro.  The incident occurred at Pugu which is the first upcountry station from Dar-es-Salaam. The track had been undercut by heavy rain and the unballasted track just gave way. - PHOTO Alan Thompson
Looking back along the train from the cab of 6010, Sir Donald Cameron.  Judging by the consist, the train is Number 1 Up, the [Tanganyika] Mail Train somewhere between Dar-es-Salaam and Ruvu.  The Mail Train between Mombasa and Kampala was also Number 1 Up.  Perhaps interesting that train numbers were duplicated, but this may have been as result of the absorption of Tanganyika Railway into the Kenya Uganda Railway to form the East African Railways and Harbours - PHOTO Alan Thompson
