Series 2043 is a
diesel-electric locomotive series on
Croatian Railways ( hr, hrvatske željeznice, HŽ).
With the electrification of magistral railway lines the need has arisen that diesel locomotives are put into service on less frequently used lines. Usually lesser
axle load is allowed on a
branch line and less frequented lines.
A locomotive, which was light and powerful enough was needed.
Therefore, the
series 2061 was stripped down and series 2043 was created.
All six locomotives were taken out of service, the last one in 2011. With this the most weight was lost. Now, the
adhesion is distributed differently.
