Title:
Spoornet Class 18E 18-299 (Series 1)
Description:
Beginning in 2000 Spoornet embarked on a program to rebuild dual cab Class 6E1, Series 2 to Sbries 11 lmcomotives to single cab Class 18E, Series 1 locomotives that were renumbered in the ranges 18-001 to 18-434 and 18-500 to 18-525. The rebuilding included the"installation of Alsthom micro-processor control technology and was done by Transwerk (later Trcnsnet Rail Engineering and then Transnet Engineering) at its Koedoespoort shops in-Pretoria, Gauteng.
