SAR Class 7E2 E7198 (Series 2) |
| 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.
