Title:  SAR Class 11E 11-027
Description:  Between 1985 and 1987 the South African Railways placed forty-five Class 11E heavy goods 25 kV AC electric locomotives with a Co-Co wheel arrangement in mainline service on the Coalink line, numbered in the range from 11-001 to 11-045. The locomotive was designed by General Motors, while the thyristor traction technology was provided by Allmänna Svenska Elektriska Aktiebolaget (ASEA) of Sweden. It was built in South Africa by General Motors South Africa, whose corporate name was changed to Delta Motor Corporation two thirds through the locomotive building process.
