Between March 1976 and May 1980 the South African Railways placed one hundred Class 35-400 GE U15C diesel-electric locomotives in service, numbered in the range from 35-401 to 35-500. Designed by General Electric, they were built in two batches by the South African General Electric-Dorman Long Locomotive Group (SA GE-DL, later Dorbyl).

| Description: |
Judging from the flotsam on the loco, floodwater must have flowed virtually over 35-403 after the accident. The remains of the cab of 35-408 is visible at left. |

SAR Derailment |
| Description: |
It's hard to believe that three shunter crew members emerged from the third loco of the foursome with only minor injuries. 35-403 will probably also be taken to the Transwerk shops in Bloemfontein for repairs. |
