Viewing Album:  South African Electric Locomotives
 
By:Col André Kritzinger
Dates:10/15/2015 - 10/15/2015
Album Info:Electric locomotives of Transnet Freight Rail and the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa, the former South African Railways, later Spoornet. Here is one picture of every South African electric locomotive I've ever photographed, A to Z by loco number, and here and there the same loco in a different paint scheme. I am receiving assistance from fellow railfans in the attempt to post a picture of each and every SA locomotive, most notably from Charles Baker, driver Noel Welch, John Middleton and an anonymous Railfan.

Description:  Between 1975 and 1977 the South African Railways placed one hundred Class 6E1, Series 6 electric locomotives in mainline service, numbered in the range from E1646 to E1745. It was designed and built by Union Carriage and Wagon in Nigel, Transvaal, with the electrical equipment supplied by the General Electric Company (GEC). The Series 6 and Series 7 locomotives are visually indistinguishable from each other, but can be distinguished from earlier series models by their rainwater beadings above the small grilles on the sides just to the right of the side doors.
