The luxury Blue Train, northbound from Cape Town to Pretoria, is framed by the rusting footbridge at Fochville station as it speeds through behind a pair of class 14E Bo-Bo electrics. These locomotives are dual voltage 3kV DC / 25kV AC, allowing them to operate the entire route between Cape Town and Pretoria. Previously painted in Spoornet orange, this is only their second northbound run in their new blue livery, to match the colour and name of the famous train they are permanently allocated to.
Classes 7E, 9E, 11E, 14E, 15E, 19E, 20E and 21E.
7E & 11E are 25kv AC locos. 9E & 15E are 50kv AC locos and the remainder are dual-voltage (25kv AC & 3kv DC).
