Summary
| Description |
English: Class 6E1 Series 4 no. E1525 with nose cone during high speed testing. In 1978, no. E1525 was modified for experiments in high speed traction by re-gearing the traction motors and installing SAR designed Scheffel bogies and a streamlined nose cone. In this configuration, E1525 reached a speed of 245 kilometres per hour (152 miles per hour) on 31 October 1978, a still unbeaten world record on 3 feet 6 inches (1,067 millimetres) Cape gauge track. |
