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:  In 1983 the South African Railways placed forty Class 7E2, Series 2 electric locomotives with a Co-Co wheel arrangement in mainline service, numbered in the range from E7176 to E7215. This 25 kV AC locomotive was designed by the 50 c/s Group (ACEC, AEG-Telefunken, Siemens, Alsthom-Atlantique, Société MTE and Brown Boveri) and built by Union Carriage and Wagon in Nigel, Transvaal. The Class 7E2, Series 2 can be visually distinguished from the Series 1 by the vertical grilles just to the rear of the driver’s window on both sides on Series 2 locomotives, but absent on Series 1.

SAR Class 7E3 E7216 (Series 1)
Title:  SAR Class 7E3 E7216 (Series 1)
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 7E3 E7259 (Series 1)
Title:  SAR Class 7E3 E7259 (Series 1)
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 7E4 E7272
Title:  SAR Class 7E4 E7272
Description:  Between 1983 and 1985 the South African Railways placed sixty Class 7E3, Series 1 and twenty-five Series 2 locomotives in mainline service. Designed by Hitachi, they were built in South Africa by Dorbyl, who also supplied the mechanical components. Circa 2000 seventeen of these dual cab locomotives, those in the running number range from E7260 to E7276, were reclassified to Class 7E4 after being upgraded and rebuilt to single cab locomotives. The two sides of the Class 7E4 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.
