SAR Class 5E1 E819 (Series 3)
Title:  SAR Class 5E1 E819 (Series 3)
Description:  In 1964 and 1965 the South African Railways placed one hundred Class 5E1, Series 3 electric locomotives in service, numbered in the range from E721 to E820. Designed by Metropolitan-Vickers, it was built by Union Carriage and Wagon in Nigel, Transvaal, with the electrical equipment supplied by Associated Electrical Industries. The distinction between series 2 and 3 locomotives appears to have been based only on the grounds of being built on different orders since they were equipped with the same AEI 281 AZX traction motors.
