Title:
SAR Class 7E2 E7171 (Series 1)
Description:
In 1982 the South African Railways placed twenty-five Class 7E2, Series 1 25 kV AC electric locomotives with a Co-Co wheel arrangement in mainline service, numbered in the range from E7151 to E7175. It 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 1 can be visually distinguished from the Series 2 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.
