Remarks & Notes

Class 8E (centre cab electric shunting locomotive), E8056, is shunting a Type 5M Motor Coach around the big Metrorail yards, north of Durban Station. E8056 has made it through her entire working life (since 1983) in her original SAR red / whisker livery. The end of the line is near for this locomotive class in South Africa.
