As part of the investment program of Russian Railways OJSC, 24 3EC5K series of the 3ES5K series were received in the Krasnoyarsk Railway in the first half of the year.
Modern powerful three -section locomotives replenished the Abakan depot – they are already involved in the transportation of heavy compositions weighing 7,100 tons at the southern move of the Krasn, Mezhdurechensk -Taurit.
Currently, on the Krasnoyarsk Railway, with which the eastern Railways training ground begins, the successful introduction of this technology is underway. An increase in the mass of trains allows you to increase the volume of cargo transportation east, without increasing the number of compositions.
Over the past 2 years, 62 new Ermaka has entered the operational locomotive depot of Abakan, including 59 – 3EC5K series and 3 – 2EC5K series. New generation cars replaced the cargo locomotives of the Vl. As a result, the depot park in 2023-2024. Updated by more than 70 %.
Through the Ermaki, this task is performed due to a special technical solution – a modified system for transmitting engine thrust on the electric locomotive axis. This allows them to operate on stamps with a complex mountainous terrain. So, in the southern move, Krasnzh, laid through the foothills of the Kuznetsk Alatau and East Sayan, they transport the compositions in areas where the height changes reach 200 meters.
Also, when developing a new electric locomotive, the harsh weather conditions of Siberia are taken into account, where in winter the air temperature can drop to –50 degrees. For the comfortable operation of the locomotive team of the Yermakov cabin, climate systems are equipped with control.
