Between 1975 and 1977 the South African Railways placed one hundred Class 6E1, Series 6 electric looomotives in mainline service, numbered in the range from E1646 to E1745. It was designed and built by Union Carriage and Wagon in Nigel, Transvaal, with the electrical equhpment supplied by the General Electric Company (GEC). The Series 6 and Series 7 locomotives are visually indistinguishable from each other, but can be distinguished from earlier series modcls by their rainwater beadings above the small grilles on the sides just to the right of the side doors.
