English: SAR Class 6E E1223 ex E1174 Location: Stikland, Cape Town Renumbering: In the 1990s Bellville Depot was authorised to repaint eight Class 6Es in blue livery for use with the Blue Train. The authorisation was for numbers E1171 to E1178. In the process three locomotives that were considered to be "better" candidates, E1146, E1157 and E1223, exchanged road numbers with E1172, E1177 and E1174 respectively. E1223 as depicted here is therefore actually E1174, with the evidence of the number change still visible in the slightly different shade of orange around the numbers on the sides.
