The South African Railways Class 1E of 1925 is an electric locomotive. Between 1925 and 1945 the South African Railways placed altogether one hundred and seventy-two Class 1E electric locomotives in service, spread over seven orders. They were the first mainline electric locomotives to be introduced in South Africa.〔South African Railways Index and Diagrams Electric and Diesel Locomotives, 610 mm and 1065 mm Gauges, Ref LXD 14/1/100/20, 28 January 1975, as amended〕 ==Electrification in Natal== South Africa's first electric locomotive, the Class 1E, entered South African Railways (SAR) service in Natal in 1925. It was ordered and designed for the electrification of the Glencoe to Pietermaritzburg section, a mountainous single track line that carried heavy mineral traffic towards the port of Durban on an alignment with severe gradients and tight curves. When the existing working by steam locomotives became too slow and inefficient to keep up with increased traffic, electrification of this section was decided upon to increase the capacity of the line.〔
