Last of the South African class 7E's Part One 

These are the ones that will survive AND a few of the ones that might be scrapped by next year (owned by Transnet Freight Rail). The 7E's and their sub-classes are of Chinese design, German, English and the majority are South African design and built (the 7E's and 7E1's). The 7E's are rated at 4000 hp continuous, but have a tremendously high torque output. They operate between Beaufort West, De Aar, PE and Kimberley, and some other isolated regions under 25 000 volt Alternating Current. Watch the video for more info.
