Dr14 - Medium Road Switcher
Technical details for class Dr14 -> Type: Dr14 (originally Vr12) -> VR-Yhtyma class: Dr14 -> Builders: Rauma-Repola (now Metso) and Lokomo -> Operators: VR-Yhtymä -> Usage: heavy switcher, the only of it's kind in Finland -> Production dates: 1968 - 1971 - Series 1851 - 1874, - whole series rebuilt by VR in 2002 - 2005, when much of the locos were modernized and reebuilt to cuurent standard, preserving the original engine and hydraulic power structure -> Numbers built: 24 -> Numbers in operation: 24, most valuable freight locomotive for the whole VR-Yhtyma -> Seen: Finland -> Energy Source: Diesel fuel -> Engine: Tampella MAN R8V 22/30 ATL -> Power output: 875kW (1190 Hp) -> Transmission: hydraulic, Voith L 206 rsb -> Generator: - -> Traction motors: - -> Tractive Effort: 210 kN -> Braking effort on traction motors (dynamic braking): na -> Wheel arrangement: B'B' -> Wheel diameter: 1050 mm as new -> Maximum operational speed: 75 or 35 km/h (46 or 22 Mph) depending on the locomotive, at least Helsinki and Imatra have 35 km/h units in use -> Length: 14,0 m -> Heigth: 4,7 m -> Width: 3,2 m -> Weight: 68 / 86 metric tons ( lb), heavier units with added weight -> Max. axelweight: 19,5 / 21,5 metric tons -> Train control systems: JKV, equipped for Finland -> Remote radio control equipped: Yes -> Multiple operations capacity with: class -> Couplers: Vapiti, semiautomatic hook and chain plus SA3 -> Specials/other: - The type is commonly nuicknamed for "Zebra" (Seepra) - the top speed of several locomotives have been reduced to mere 35 km/h! Most probable reason for this is a bad shape of the mechanics or missing JKV train control in units, if the previous reason VR will probably be looking for a successor for the type for heavy switching in the coming years. - Type is the ONLY locomotive used in Finland suitable for serious every day heavy switching. - Dr14 is commonly used in Helsinki, Sköldvik, Tampere, Kotka, Imatra, Vainikkala and Kokkola for heavy switching

- Border Area Medium Heavy Passenger Locomotive  2TE116 is a common work horse for the heavy road freight movements of the RZD near the Finnish border. Most locomotives semm to be stationed in Viipuri, an old Finnish city just 20 kilometers on the Russian side of the border after WW2. The 2Te116 is a true monster locomotive with enough pulling power for just about any road need. The locomotive is unsuitable for any switching work because of its poor visibility behind. The Russians were unable to thing multipurpose use at the time of designing the 2Te116. However, by now the locomotive has proved its success both in Russia and a number of other countries around it with 5ft gauge. Only draw back of the use is the relatively heavy axle weight for use in Europe outside the Russia. Technical details for 2TE116 Type: 2Te116 Usage: Heavy road freight locomotive Builder: Lugansk Production dates: 1971 to 2000s, newer models now replacing these Numbers built: 1700+ , early remaining units unknown Gauge: 1520 mm (5 ft) Users: Eesti Raudtee EVR, RZD, Sillamäe Sadam, Spacecom, Transoil, ... Seen in: Russia, Estonia, Finland, Ukraine, probably much of the ex. Eastern Europe and anywhere where 1520 mm gauge is common. Energy Source: Diesel fuel Engine: Kolomna type 1A-5D49 V16, 4 stroke ; later units 1A-5D49-2 Power output: 2 x 2250 kW (3017 Hp) at 1000 rpm Transmission: Diesel electric AC/DC Alternator: AC, type ? Traction motors: DC, ETM type ED-107A, 12 x 305kW, later types ED-118A, ED-118B, ED-118D and ED-125B Tractive Effort: 399 kN start / 248 kN at 24km/h Wheel arrangement: Co-Co + Co-Co Wheel diameter: 1050 mm Maximum operational speed where possible: 100 km/h (62 mph) Length: 18,15m x 2 Heigth: Width: Weight: 138 metric tons x 2 Axle weight max: 23 tons  See more on 2TE116

2M62 - Border Area Medium-Heavy Freight Locomotive  2M62 once was the backbone of the Soviet transportation. A number of rebuilt units still exist, some even in the original condition like in the picture above. The 2M62 is used to haul oil and wood industry freight trains as wella s the international mixed freight. Years ago you could spot this locomotive type from a respectable could of diesel smoke, but currently everything is in a pretty good shape again. Technical details -> Type: M62, 2M62, 3M62 -> Usage: Heavy road freight locomotive -> Builder: Lugansk -> Production dates: 1964 - 1987 -> Numbers built: almost 3000 , remaining units unknown - M62: 750 units - 2M62: 1250 units - 3M62: a few -> Gauge: 1520 mm (5 ft) -> Users: LDZ, Rzd, ... -> Seen: Russia, Lithuania, Latvia, Ukraine, probably much of the ex. Eastern Europe. -> Energy Source: Diesel fuel -> Engine: Kolomna type 14D40 V-12, 2 stroke, turbocharged -> Power output: originally 1470 kW / unit (2000 Hp) at 750 rpm -> Transmission: Diesel electric DC -> Generator: -> Traction motors: DC, ETM type ED-107, each x 195 kW, later types may have same ED-107A as the 2TE116. -> Tractive Effort: 350 kN start / 200 kN at 20km/h -> Wheel arrangement: Co-Co + Co-Co -> Wheel diameter: 1050 mm -> Maximum operational speed: 100 km/h (62 mph) -> Length: 17,4m per each unit -> Heigth: -> Width: -> Weight: - M62: 117 metric tons - 2M62: 120 metric tons x 2 -> Axle weight max: 20 tons See more on 2TE116

Finnish Railroads Main Page, a great place to start browsing this section.  Finnish railroad organizations and railroad operators have their own pages, as well as the largest operator VR-Yhtyma and a newcomer to the field Junakalusto.  While much of the passenger traffic concentrates around the capital Helsinki, you might be interested in the roster pictures of VR-Yhtyma, Junakalusto and the city of Helsinki operator HKL. HKL operates the metro, buses and narrow gauge trams.   You might also like to see the Finnish Rolling Stock Classes Page or the Rolling Stock Heritage Classes Page!   The Finnish Infrastructure Page gives you details on the railroad projects of past, present and the future. Finnish Railroad History Page describes the beginnings of Finnish railroading.  Finnish location is quite challenging for the railroading, the European Union Railroading Page and the Rail Baltica Page shed light to this subject.  Russians in Finland Page brings you some of the exotic Russian models, many still dating back to the Soviet period.  Last but not least, Take a virtual tour with a Finnish heritage locomotive Vr1 / "Chicken". This story was brought to 4rail.net by Hannu Peltola.  Lets hunt some Wolfpacks! This is the special story page devoted to VR-Yhtyma Sr1 Wolves. | |
