... so why does Sheldon love these trains, what's in them? But who knows, and where is Sheldon ...
The whole thing, probably, in some of their attractive power. Speaking of trains, it is impossible not to mention the locomotive, without which the train is not a train.
Actually, we are talking today about locomotives.
12 samurai are 12 locomotives, more precisely, electric locomotives, which will enter the service of the Belarusian Railways.
Let's just say the other day, the supply contract (2011-2012) by the Chinese electric locomotive plant 12 electric locomotives of the
BKG-1 series, which are constructed on the basis of the
HXD2 series, was
signed .
The HXD2 freight electric locomotive, manufactured at Datong Electric Locomotives, a Chinese factory (part of CUEC), was developed based on the technology of the French engineering company Alstom. The prototype of this locomotive was the electric locomotive
PRIMA 447000
These will be the most “heavy” locomotives on the Belarusian Railways, surpassing the nearest competitor (VL80) by 2000 tons.
Tentatively for each "Chinese" will pay $ 4 million.
I will not overload you with numbers, I will say only that the “piece of hardware” will get new powerful locomotives for itself, you and I will rejoice at the new “face” of trains, and the machinists will receive air conditioning. microwave and fridge;)
We are waiting for the appearance of these beauties ...
well, and so, by the way, almost the same Chinese are going to continue the electrification process of the Belarusian Railways.
