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.
Photos taken in the Durban area, from the PRASA / Metrorail yards just North of Durban Station to Rossburgh Station including the Bayhead yards and along the Esplanade, Maydon Wharf and around Durban Harbour.
The red & whisker livery of the South African Railways / Suid Afrikaanse Spoorwee collection. Getting harder to find examples of this fantastic and much loved livery still in service!
