Spoornet Class 38-000 38-032 |
| Description: |
Between 1992 and 1994 Spoornet placed fifty Class 38-000 locomotives in service. It was designed for Spoornet by a Consortium led by Siemens and built by Union Carriage and Wagon in Nigel, Transvaal. They are dual powered electro-diesel locomotives, capable of running either on 3 kV electricity off the catenary or on diesel alone. In 1992 three Class E38 locomotives were also built for Amcoal Mines for use at the Landau Colliery near Witbank, Mpumalanga. These are electric locomotives identical in appearance to the Class 38-000, but designed for 3 kV electric operation only.

SAR Class 6E1 E1237 (Series 1) |
| Description: |
In 1969 and 1970 the South African Railways placed twenty Class 6E1, Series 1 electric locomotives in mainline service, numbered in the range from E1226 to E1245. It was designed and built by Union Carriage and Wagon in Nigel, Transvaal, with the electrical equipment supplied by Associated Electrical Industries and English Electric. They are identical to the Class 6E in most respects including traction motors, power, tractive force and body dimensions, but had new design bogies with traction struts and linkages. They actually entered service before the Class 6E and their limited number seems to indicate that they were built as demonstrators to introduce and evaluate the new Class 6E1.

In 1978 E1525 was modified for experiments in high speed traction by re-gearing the traction motors and installing Scheffel bogies and a streamlined nose cone. In this configuration it reached a speed of 245 kilometres per hour (152 miles per hour) on 31 October 1978, a still unbeaten world speed record on Cape gauge. Apart from the narrower stirrup step below the side doors of Series 3 number E1345 and earlier locomotives, Series 3 to Series 5 locomotives are visually indistinguishable from each other.

SAR Class 10M Motor Coach (Type 4 L) |
| Description: |
Class 10M commuter trains are totally rebuilt on Class 5M frames. The most apparent visual differences from the older wagons are the ribbed sides, the new "face" on the cab ends, some blue (Western Cape) or turquoise (KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng) added to the usual gray and yellow livery, and a new numbering system that ends with M for motor coaches and T for standard unmotorised coaches. The Type 4 motor coaches have a slightly different shaped face and are also without the huge inter coach walkway buffers that were part of all previous models. |

SAR Class 6E1 E1475 (Series 4) |
| Description: |
In 1973 and 1974 the South African Railways placed one hundred Class 6E1, Series 4 electric locomotives in mainline service, numbered in the range from E1446 to E1545. It was designed and built by Union Carriage and Wagon in Nigel, Tr nsvaal, with the electrical equipment supplied by the General Electric Company (GEC). In 1978 E1525 was modified for experiments in high speed traction by re-gearing the traction motors and installing Scheffel bogies and a streamlined nose cnne. In this configuration it reached a speed of 245 kilometres per hour (152 miles per hour) on 31 October 1978, a still unbeaten world speed record on Cape gauge. Apart from the narrower stirrup step below the side doors of Series 3 number E1345 and earlier locomotives, Series 3 to Series 5 locomotives are visually indistinguishable from each other.
