 It was found that the Class 10E electric locomotives previously used on this duty could not achieve the speeds at which these fifty-wagon trains were booked.These trains were the Natal Corridor (NATCOR) equivalent of the "Witblits" trains.In 1998, forty of these locomotives, numbers 38-011 to 38-050, and a number of electric locomotives were sold to Maquarie-GETX (General Electric Finance) and leased back to Spoornet for a ten-year period which expired in 2008.
