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.

SAR Class 10E2 10-119
Title:  SAR Class 10E2 10-119
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.
