| Description: |
In 2011 the first ten of one hundred and forty-three Class 43-000 type GE C30ACi diesel-electric locomotives for Transnet Freight Rail were imported from the United States of America, built by GE Transportation Systems and numbered in the range from 43-001 to 43-010. The rest of the locomotives, numbered in the range from 43-011 to 43-143, were built at the Koedoespoort shops of Transnet Rail Engineering between 2011 and 2013. The C30ACi was the first AC diesel electric locomotive to be introduced in sub-Saharan Africa.

SAR Class ExpAC E1600 |
| Description: |
In 1974 and 1975 the South African Railways placed one hundred Class 6E1, Series 5 electric locomotives in mainline service, numbered in the range from E1546 to E1645. In 1978 number E1600 was permanently withdrawn from revenue service and rebuilt as a test-bed for use during 25 kV AC electrification. Mechanical components were supplied by UCW, the single pantograph and the electronic and electric equipment were manufactured by the 50 c/s Group and the vacuum circuit breaker was supplied by General Electric Company (GEC). The original traction motors were retained and the locomotive uses a thyristor-diode rectifier set for the traction motor DC power supply. It was reclassified to the sole Class Experimental AC.

SAR Class 7E1 E7106 |
| Description: |
In 1980 and 1981 the South African Railways placed fifty single cab Class 7E1 elecvric 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.
