SAR Class 6E1 E1540 (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, 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.

Description:
In 1983 and 1984 the South African Railways placed sixty Class 7E3, Series 1 electric locomotives with a Co-Co wheel arrangement in mainline service, numbered in the range from E7216 to E7275. Designed by Hitachi, they were built in South Africa by Dorbyl, who also supplied the mechanical components. The two sides of the Class 7E3 are completely different in appearance and a pair of them may appear at first glance to be two different locomotive types. Circa 2000 sixteen of these dual cab locomotives were reclassified to Class 7E4 after being upgraded and rebuilt to single cab locomotives.

SAR Class 7E1 E7150
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.
