Description:
Between March 1976 and May 1980 the South African Railways placed one hundred Class 35-400 GE U15C diesel-electric locomotives in service, numbered in the range from 35-401 to 35-500. Designed by General Electric, they were built in two batches by the South African General Electric-Dorman Long Locomotive Group (SA GE-DL, later Dorbyl).

Description:
In April 2004 I had the privilege of a cab ride across Sir Lowry's Pass in 35-408. Not much room left in that cab now, since 35-403 ploughed into it during the accident.

SAR Derailment
Description:
There's not much left of the cab of 35-408 after 35-403 (visible behind) ploughed into it during the accident. There were five crew members on board and all were injured, the worst having suffered a broken pelvis and broken ribs. Fortunately none of them were riding in 35-408, which was the second unit in the consist.

Description:
Lady luck smiled on the shunter crew who rode in the third unit, 35-403. The chances that anyone would have survived in the cab of 35-408, the second unit, is virtually zero.

SAR Derailment
Description:
35-408, the second loco of the foursome, looks like it's ready for the cutter's torches, but then, considering Spoornet's loco shortage, a trip to the Transwerk shops in Bloemfontein for repairs is not totally out of the question either.

Description:
35-408 certainly came off worst of the four locos, with her cab totally destroyed and even the frame torn.
