| Description: |
Between 1982 and 1984 the South African Railways placed fifty-five Class 6E1, Series 10 electric locomotives in mainline service, numbered in the range from E2086 to E2140. It was designed and built for the South African Railways 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.
