In 1945, the Minister of Transport at the time, the Honourable F.C. Sturrock MP, instructed that a number of Classes 15F and 23 engines should be named after various South African cities and towns and fitted with suitable nameplates in both official languages. The decorative plates were fitted to the sides of the smokebox or to the elephant ear smoke deflectors of engines which were so equipped. Twelve Class 15F locomotives were named:

 No. 3045  Harrismith, No. 3046 - City of Bloemfontein, No. 3047 - City of Pretoria,  No. 3049 - City of Johannesburg,  No. 3050  Springs,  No. 3051  Vereeniging,  No. 3052  Brakpan, No. 3053 - Benoni No. 3054  Bethlehem, No. 3055  Germiston,  No. 3056  Potchefstroom.

In later years, some of these names migrated to other engines and classes, with several eventually ending up on Classes 23 and  locomotives.
