SAR Class 12E 12-001
Description:
On 11 January 1984 the South African Railways inaugurated the MetroBlitz, a high speed commuter service between Pretoria and Johannesburg. Five Class 12E electric locomotives were built in 1983 especially for this service, numbered in the range from 12-001 to 12-005. 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 Class 12E is a modified single cab version of the Class 6E1 with a conductor’s cabin at the rear end. The locomotive has the same power output as a Class 6E1, but has a higher gear ratio to enable it to run at a safe maximum speed of 150 kilometres per hour (93 miles per hour).

Description:
Beginning in 2000 Spoornet embarked on a program to rebuild dual cab Class 6E1, Series 2 to Series 11 locomotives to single cab Class 18E, Series 1 locomotives that were renumbered in the ranges 18-001 to 18-434 and 18-500 to 18-525. The rebuilding included the installation of Alsthom micro-processor control technology and was done by Transwerk (later Transnet Rail Engineering and then Transnet Engineering) at its Koedoespoort shops in Pretoria, Gauteng. In the process their number 1 end cabs were stripped of all controls in order to have a toilet installed.
18-001 was rebuilt from Class 6E1, Series 8 E1954 and commissioned in 2000.

Title:
Spoornet Class 18E 18-520 (Series 1)
Description:
Beginning in 2000 Spoornet embarked on a program to rebuild dual cab Class 6E1, Series 2 to Series 11 locomotives to single cab Class 18E, Series 1 locomotives that were renumbered in the ranges 18-001 to 18-434 and 18-500 to 18-525. The rebuilding included the installation of Alsthom micro-processor control technology and was done by Transwerk (later Transnet Rail Engineering and then Transnet Engineering) at its Koedoespoort shops in Pretoria, Gauteng. In the process their number 1 end cabs were stripped of all controls in order to have a toilet installed.
18-520 was rebuilt from Class 6E1, Series 7 E1761 and commissioned in 2009.
