Technical specifications

The locomotives have a Co-Co wheel arrangement, and are equipped with GEC 5G-761 engines. [2]

History

Production started in 1965. A total of 80 locomotives were built until 1971, [3] with the first eight built by Alco, and the remaining 72 by Euskalduna. [4] Four locomotives were rebuilt for Teco de Media Distancia freight service trials. [2]

Regular services with Renfe have ended, and some locomotives are used by Adif to haul maintenance trains. [4]
