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, Transvaal, 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 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 7E1 E7126
Description:
In 1980 and 1981 the South African Railways placed fifty single cab Class 7E1 electric locomotives with a Co-Co wheel arrangement in mainline service, numbered in the range from E7101 to E7150. It was designed by Hitachi, while Dorbyl in South Africa supplied the mechanical components. The first two units were built by Hitachi in Japan in 1979, while forty-eight more were built by Dorbyl in South Africa. The two sides of the Class 7E1 are completely different in appearance and, when coupled end to end, a pair of them appears at first glance to be two different locomotive types.

Description:
In 1989 and 1990 the South African Railways placed twenty-five Class 10E2 heavy goods 3 kV DC electric locomotives with a Co-Co wheel arrangement in mainline service, numbered in the range from 10-101 to 10-125. The locomotive, which makes use of either regenerative or rheostatic braking as the situation demands, was designed by Toshiba and built by Union Carriage and Wagon in Nigel, Transvaal. In visual appearance the Class 10E2 can be distinguished from the Class 10E by the roof ends, riffled on the 10E and smooth on the 10E2.

SAR Class 10M Motor Coach (Type 3 R)
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) or dark green 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. This brand new trio have just rolled out of the construction shops at Koedoespoort.

Spoornet Class 18E 18-061 (Series 1)
Description:
Beginning in 2000 Spoornet embarked on a program to rebuild dual cab Class 6E1, Series 2 to Series 11 locomotives to single cab Class 18E, Series 1 locomotives that were renumbered in the ranges 18-001 to 18-434 and 18-500 to 18-525. The rebuilding included the installation of Alsthom micro-processor control technology and was done by Transwerk (later Transnet Rail Engineering and then Transnet Engineering) at its Koedoespoort shops in Pretoria, Gauteng. In the process their number 1 end cabs were stripped of all controls in order to have a toilet installed.
18-061 was rebuilt from Class 6E1, Series 8 E1909 and commissioned in 2002.
