The South African Railways Class 36-200 of 1980 is a diesel-electric locomotive. Beginning in August 1980, the South African Railways placed one hundred and one Class 36-200 General Motors Electro-Motive Division type SW1002 diesel-electric locomotives in service. In 1984 one Class 36-200 locomotive was also built for the Bophuthatswana National Development Corporation, for use at the Ga-Rankuwa Industrial Estate. Three more were placed in service by Iscor in Pretoria between 1986 and 1991, and another two by the Ithala Development Finance Corporation in KwaZulu-Natal in 1987.〔South African Railways Index and Diagrams Electric and Diesel Locomotives, 610mm and 1065mm Gauges, Ref LXD 14/1/100/20, 28 January 1975, as amended〕 ==Manufacturers== The Class 36-200 type SW1002 diesel-electric locomotive was designed for the South African Railways (SAR) by General Motors Electro-Motive Division (GM-EMD) and all but one were built by General Motors South Africa (GMSA) in Port Elizabeth. The exception was the third type SW1002 locomotive to be built for Iscor in Pretoria, which was delivered from in Argentina.〔〔 The one hundred and one locomotives for the SAR were built in two batches on two orders. The first fifty were built between 1980 and 1982 and numbered in the range from 36-201 to . Another fifty-one were built between 1982 and 1984 and numbered in the range from to . It is unclear why such an odd number of locomotives were ordered.〔〔 Apart from the SAR locomotives, several were also built for industry.〔 * A single locomotive was built for the Bophuthatswana National Development Corporation (BNDC) in Ga-Rankuwa and delivered in 1984. * Two locomotives that were ordered by Iscor in Pretoria were delivered in 1986, numbered 661-45 and 661-46. * Two locomotives that had been ordered by the Ithala Development Finance Corporation (IDFC) in KwaZulu-Natal were delivered in 1987 and numbered 1 and 2. * The Argentinian-built locomotive was delivered to Iscor by GM-Astarsa in 1991 and numbered 661-47. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「South African Class 36-200」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
