Title:
SAR Class 37-000 37-030
Description:
Between May 1981 and 1982 the South African Railways placed one hundred Class 37-000 EMD GT26M2C diesel-electric locomotives in service. It is a more powerful version of the EMD Class 34-200, 34-600 and 34-800, designed by Electro-Motive Diesel and built by General Motors South Africa in Port Elizabeth. They were numbered in the range from 37-001 to 37-100.
Heavy rain during the night of 10-11 December 2012 caused the Amanzimtoti River to come down in flood, which eroded the embankment where the South Coast line crosses the river at the river mouth. Both locomotives and the first two loaded wagons of an early morning southbound timber train ended up in the river mouth.
