Electric locomotive EP1 is a Russian electric locomotive which has been produced by Novocherkassk Electric Locomotive Plant since 1998. It is the first Russian passenger electric locomotive with the 2o-2o-2o or Bo-Bo-Bo axle arrangement. There are, as December 2016, 866 [1] [2] of these locomotives. [3]
In the 1990s there were few passenger electric locomotives in Russia. The existing Chesh electric locomotives CHS4 and CHS4t were rather old to head passenger trains. A decision was therefore taken to commission a new electric passenger locomotive. [4]
The first example of this locomotive was made in 1998, based on the existing VL65 design and modified for passenger traffic. The locomotive proved successful and was ordered in large numbers.
This locomotive is an EP1 with a new driver's cab, as featured in the 2ES4K locomotive. This cab features a new modern control console, and climate control. This variant first appeared in 2007. [3]
This locomotive is a further modification to the EP1M, featuring a more powerful motor, and also appeared in 2007. [3]
The British Rail Class 76, also known as Class EM1, is a class of 1.5 kV DC, Bo+Bo electric locomotive designed for use on the now-closed Woodhead Line in Northern England.
Varshavsky station, or Warsaw station, is a former passenger railway station in Saint Petersburg, Russia. It is located to the south of the city centre, and was in operation from 1853 to 2001 From 2001 to 2017 it served as the home of the Russian Railway Museum.
TU2 (ТУ2) is a Soviet narrow gauge diesel locomotive for the track gauge of 750 mm
The Baldwin 0-6-6-0-1000/1DE is a cab unit diesel-electric locomotive built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1945. The 0-6-6-0-1000/1DEs were powered by an eight-cylinder diesel engine rated at 1,000 horsepower (746 kW), and rode on a pair of three-axle trucks in a C-C wheel arrangement. 30 of these models were built for Soviet Railways, today Russian Railways, as Class Дб.
TE10 is a diesel-electric locomotive from the Soviet Union. The name of this locomotive (ТЭ10) is from тепловоз с электрической передачей, тип 10, which translates to "diesel-electric locomotive type 10."
KLUB is the name of the modern Russian train control systems. The abbreviation "КЛУБ" stands for "Комплексное локомотивное устройство безопасности", Integrated Train Protection System.
The ChS4 is an electric mainline AC passenger locomotive used in Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine.
The ChS8 is an electric mainline AC passenger locomotive used in Russia and Ukraine.
The ChS7 is an electric mainline DC passenger locomotive used in Russia and Ukraine. The locomotive consists of two sections and was produced in years 1983 to 1999 at Škoda's V.I. Lenin plant in Plzeň, Czech Republic. It was specially developed for the railways of Soviet Union with later models procured by Russian and Ukrainian operators. Along with ChS8, the Chs7 is one of the most powerful electric locomotives used in the countries of the former USSR.
The ChS2 Russian: ЧС2 is an electric mainline DC passenger locomotive used in Russia and Ukraine. It was manufactured by the Škoda Works in Czechoslovakia between 1958 and 1973.
The VL11 Russian: ВЛ11 is an electric mainline DC freight and passenger locomotive, built in Georgia, used in Russia and Ukraine. The initials VL are those of Vladimir Lenin, after whom the class is named.
The TEP70 is a main line single-unit diesel locomotive, rated at 2,964 kW (3,975 hp), with AC/DC transmission and individual axle traction control, designed to haul passenger trains on the Russian gauge railway network of eastern Europe. As of 2022, it is still in service in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Kazakhstan. It is the successor to the TEP60, with many design elements is derived from that locomotive; however, the engine was replaced by a four-stroke one. TEP70, especially its experimental batch, incorporated some features of British Rail HS4000, for example, its bogies and some elements of driving control equipment. Later batches of this locomotive incorporated some design features from TEP75 experimental locomotive and predecessor TEP70. Final batches, produced until 2006, also had several important improvements.
The EP200 passenger AC electric locomotive has 8,000 kilowatts (10,730 hp) of power and design speed of up to 200 kilometres per hour (120 mph). The underframe with two unique four-axle wheel trucks coupled with support - frame suspension of commutator-less motors and traction gear boxes ensure high riding properties and dynamic characteristics of the EP200 Passenger Electric Locomotive.
The 2TE25K is a main line two-unit diesel-electric locomotive, rated at 5,000 kW (6,705 hp). It is equipped with AC/DC transmission and is designed to haul freight trains on the Russian Federation lines RZD on the broad gauge.
Metropolitan Railway electric locomotives were used on London's Metropolitan Railway with conventional carriage stock. On the outer suburban routes an electric locomotive was used at the Baker Street end that was exchanged for a steam locomotive en route.
The ChS3 is a type of 4-axle passenger direct current electric locomotive, manufactured in 1961, which was used in the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation. In 1960, due to the increase in passenger trains, the Skoda factory was ordered to design and produce a more powerful locomotive type than the ChS1. The plant's management decided to base the new electric locomotives on the ChS1 class of locomotive. Therefore, the more powerful AL4846eT traction motors and traction drive were installed in the experimental ChS1 locomotive. Thus, the ChS3 design was an improved version of the ChS1.
The JŽ class 412/416 is an electric multiple unit built for Yugoslav Railways (JŽ). The units are currently used by Serbian Railways (ŽS), Macedonian Railways (MŽ) and Montenegro Railways (ŽCG).
The Kanghaenggun-class is a class of electric locomotives for freight trains operated by the Korean State Railway on mainlines, especially the important P'yŏngŭi Line. They were converted to 3,000 V DC electric operation by the Kim Chong-t'ae Electric Locomotive Works from Soviet-built K62-class diesel locomotives.
