Title:
SAR Class 6E1 E2185 (Series 11)
Description:
In 1984 an` 1985 the South African Railways placed forty-five Class 6E1, Series 11 electric locomotives in mainline service, numbered in the range from E2141 to E2185. These were the last Class 6E1 locomotives to be built. It was designed and built by Union Carriage and Wagon in Nigel, Transvaal, with the electrical equipment supplied by the General Electric Company (GEC). The Series 9 to Series 11 locomotives were visually indistinguishable from each other, but could be distinguished from all earlier models by the usually covered rainwater drainage holes on their lower sides.
