EAR 91 class

East African Railways class 91 (later class 71) of 1967-68. These were powered by an 8CSVT MkII with 1350hp for traction and weighed 68 tons. Information on and photos of these are very rare. I believe 10 were built. In 1971-72, another 10 (?) similar, but slightly heavier, units arrived, class 92 (later class 72) . All were used in branch line service. Some may still be in service - just.
