South African Class DS : ウィキペディア英語版 | South African Class DS
The South African Railways Class DS of 1939 was a diesel-electric locomotive. The first diesel-electric locomotive on the South African Railways was a single Class DS AEG diesel-electric shunting locomotive that was placed in service at the Congella yards near Durban in Natal Province in 1939. ==Manufacturer== As a result of the problems experienced to obtain adequate water supplies in the arid regions of South Africa and South West Africa, particularly on the section from De Aar via Upington to Keetmanshoop, the South African Railways (SAR) decided to experiment with diesel-powered traction and introduced its first two diesel-electric shunting locomotives in 1939.〔〔South African Railways and Harbours Locomotive Diagram Book, 2’0” & 3’6” Gauge Steam Locomotives, 15 August 1941, as amended〕 The first of these was a single twin-engined centre-cab locomotive with a wheel arrangement that was ordered from Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft (AEG) in Berlin. The locomotive was designated Class DS and was initially numbered D137, but it was soon renumbered to D513. Both numbers were in the electric locomotive number range, but with a D for diesel instead of an E for electric prefix.〔
