The first series of the 3 kV DC Class 5E1 electric locomotive was designed and built for the South African Railways by Metropolitan-Vickers (Metrovick) at its Bowesfield Works.
Metrovick was one of the companies owned by the Associated Electrical Industries (AEI) holding group, who supplied the electrical equipment.
One hundred and thirty-five locomotives were delivered between 1959 and 1961, numbered in the range from E364 to E498.
Below is an image of a loco in this series, numbered E464, in Cape Town during 1966.
