In 1989 and 1990 the South African Railways placed twenty-five Class 10E2 heavy goods 3 kV DC electric locomotives with a Co-Co wheel arrangement in mainline service, numbered in the range from 10-101 to 10-125. The locomotive, which makes use of either regenerative or rheostatic braking as the situation demands, was designed by Toshiba and built by Union Carriage and Wagon in Nigel, Transvaal. In visual appearance the Class 10E2 can be distinguished from the Class 10E by the roof ends, riffled on the 10E and smooth on the 10E2.
