Caption - National Railways of Zimbabwe (NRZ) 15th class 4-6-4+4-6-4 Garratt 382 shunting at Victoria Falls in June 1981. 74 of these mixed traffic locos were built between 1940 and 1952 making them the second largest class of Garratts in the World. The 15th class soon gained an excellent reputation hauling heavy passenger trains as easily as they did maximum load freights. Between 1980 and 1983 34 members of this class were rebuilt by ZECO in Bulawayo with higher pressure boilers and roller bearings.
