In 1917, 24 Mikado type steam locomotives were built for the [[Compagnie du chemin de fer du bas-Congo au Katanga]] (BCK), a new line from the [[Northern Rhodesia]]n border to [[Port Francqui]] in the [[Belgian Congo]]. Since the line was just being completed at the time, the full complement of locomotives were not required immediately and four, possibly six, of them were temporarily leased to the [[South African Railways]] to alleviate a wartime shortage of locomotives. In South Africa, they were known as the [[South African Katanga Mikado 2-8-2|Katanga Mikado]]. Six more of these engines were leased to the Beira and Mashonaland and Rhodesia Railways (BMR), which operated between [[Umtali]] in [[Southern Rhodesia]] and [[Beira, Mozambique|Beira]] in [[Mozambique]]. The locomotives were all forwarded to the Belgian Congo after the war, where they were numbered in the BCK range from 201 to 224.<ref name="Steamlocomotive.com">[http://www.steamlocomotive.com/locobase.php?country=Congo&wheel=2-8-2&page=cdbcak C.F. du Bas Congo a Katanga 2-8-2 Locomotives of Congo - Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media - Class 201 (Locobase 15020)] (Accessed on 16 April 2016)</ref><ref name="Holland 2">{{Holland-Vol 2|page=32-33, 47}}</ref><ref name="SAR&H Sep 1945">Espitalier, T.J.; Day, W.A.J.
