PKP Class EP02
EP02 (also manufactured as Pafawag 1E) is a name for a Polish electric locomotive. It was made for passenger transport purposes. Technical features Few improvements were brought in with this locomotive type. The front and back of the box had dragging and bumping devices installed. The whole body was given a more aerodynamic shape compared to previous models. This machine is of Bo′Bo′ type, meaning that each axle is powered separately. The axles are installed in pairs on two bogies. The bogies had lighter, welded construction which gave the whole vehicle better contact with the rails. The engines used in EP02 were not modern ones, and had a large weight compared with power and small rotation. The engine contained two engineer's compartments on each end, with all the devices necessary for running the locomotive inside. The engine and high voltage compartments were situated in the middle part of the body. History After World War II almost no electric locomotives survived in Pol ...

EP09
EP09 (also manufactured as Pafawag 104E) is a Polish electric locomotive used by the Polish railways, Polskie Koleje Państwowe (PKP) and produced by Pafawag of Wrocław between 1986 and 1997. History Construction Work on designing new family of Polish locomotives, able to pull trains with speeds higher than 125 km/h, started in the 1970s. Of those plans only one was finally realised, which resulted in construction of EP09 locomotives. In the beginning of the 1980s the CMK line (rail trunk line) was prepared for passenger transport. Before that time it had been used exclusively for freight transport. At first EU05 and EP05 locomotives were used to run services on this line, but Polish railways needed faster locomotives, reaching 160 km/h. The locomotive was designed in Ośrodek Badawczo-Rozwojowy Pojazdów Szynowych (''Rail Vehicles Research and Development Centre'') in Poznań. The prototype was ready in 1986, built in Pafawag in Wrocław. The locomotive was in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
PKP Class EN71
The EN71 (manufacturer's designation: Pafawag 5Bg/6Bg) is a four-carriage Polish EMU constructed for the Polish National Railways ( PKP). It is based on the three-carriage EN57, but differs in that it has an additional motor carriage. History The series was designed to replace the EN57, which was struggling to cope with the steep inclines of the Kraków - Zakopane route. Twenty EN71s were built at the PaFaWag works in 1976 and a further 30, or so, were manufactured in 1984 using individual EN57 units. The original twenty EN71s had bodywork made from corrugated metal; units with numbers above 20 are built from EN57s and can, therefore, have bodywork made from either flat or corrugated metal panels. Construction The EN71 is made up of four carriages: two with cabs; two with motors. The former (factory designation 5B) are marked as ra — where r stands for ''rozrządczy'' (the Polish term for control car) and a signifies that this is the front end of the train — and rb. Th ...

PKP Class EP08
EP08 (also manufactured as Pafawag 102E) is the name for a Polish electric locomotive used by the Polish railway operator ''Polskie Koleje Państwowe'' (PKP), produced between 1972 and 1976 in Pafawag, Wrocław. The construction is based on the EU07 locomotive. History In the 1970s PKP intended to increase speed of Polish passenger trains, which resulted mainly in building CMK line (Trunk Line) and the modernisation of EU05 locomotives into EP05 series. Meanwhile a project was opened to introduce new electric locomotives able to pull trains with speed exceeding , based on British EU06 and local EU07 machines. In 1972 the first prototype left Pafawag works and until 1976 a total number of 15 units had been produced. Further production was ceased due to huge orders of freight locomotives and insufficient funds for importing foreign parts for the machine. EP08 were the first locomotives in Poland to exceed the top speed limit of and contributed (alongside the EP05 class) into ...
