In 1978 and 1979 the South African Railways placed one hundred Class 7E electric locomotives with a Co-Co wheel arrangement in mainline service, numbered in the range from E7001 to E7100. They were the first 25 kV AC locomotives to be introduced in South Africa, built by Union Carriage and Wagon in Nigel, Transvaal and designed by the 50 c/s Group (ACEC, AEG-Telefunken, Siemens, Alsthom-Atlantique, Société MTE and Brown Boveri). Beginning with the Class 7E, the class number was included in the running number on electric locomotives.

Spoornet Class 14E1 14-102 |
| Description: |
In 1994 Spoornet took delivery of ten Class 14E1 dual voltage 3 kV DC and 25 kV AC electric main line locomotives, numbered in the range from 14-101 to 14-110. Designed by Consortium, consisting of Siemens, ABB, AEG-Westinghouse, GEC and Alsthom-Atlantique, they were built by Union Carriage and Wagon in Nigel, Transvaal, under licence to Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works. The original order was for fifty locomotives, but it was reduced to ten after some unsatisfactory trial results.
14-102 was destroyed in a collision between the Blue Train and the Shosholoza Meyl at Deelfontein on 27 October 2005.
