Estonian carrier continues upgrade
The Czech manufacturer CZ LOKO will supply the Estonian freight carrier Operail with six more packets for the complex modernisation of American C30 locomotives to Class C30-M. It is the second contract within less than a year.
Complete modernisation packets, i.e. all assemblies above the level of the main frame, are manufactured by the CZ LOKO facility in Jihlava, Czechia, including diesel engine blocks with alternators, cabs, hoods, cooling systems, brake systems or control blocks.
The new C30-M six-axle diesel-electric locomotive is the successor of the original American C30 locomotive made by General Electric. It is designed for heavy shunting or line service on lines and sidings with a 1,520 mm track gauge. (ben)
