Newest diesel back here

Hello all ;

Here are some images of the newest diesel locomotive that pretty soon will be arriving to ‘my’ home rails. It’s an Euro 4000, built by Vossloh España, using ‘SD70M2 core kits’ supllied by EMD (wich also fetature these units in their locomotive catalogue). In total, Takargo, the private railroad operator that bought hthem, will be getting 7 of this, with an option for 8 more. The units will be used to power automobile parts and intermodal trains between Portugal and Spain, being equipped with in Cab Signaling and Radio systems for both countries (in Europe, every country has different signal systems, wich makes everying far more complicated than in the US).

And now, the photos http://www.flickr.com/photos/sergial

Anda a little video of an Engeneer’s training train. The way it sounds doesn’t fools anyone, it’s an EMD unit.
