TU8 (ТУ8) – Soviet, later Russian diesel locomotive for gauge 750 mm (2 ft 5+1⁄2 in).

History

Diesel locomotive TU8 (ТУ8) is used for transportation & shunting services on narrow-gauge railways with a track gauge ranging from 750 mm (2 ft 5+1⁄2 in) to 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in). The TU8 was developed in 1987 – 1988 at the Kambarka Engineering Works to replace the ageing locomotive classes TU6A (ТУ6А). The cab is equipped with efficient heat-system, refrigerator, radio-set and air conditioning.[1]

Series locomotives

The diesel locomotive TU8 (ТУ8) has been used as the basis of three other locomotives:

  • TU8G (ТУ8Г)
  • TU8P (ТУ8П)
  • TU6SPA (ТУ6СПА) mobile power station

Additional specifications

  • Distance between bogies – 4,000 mm
  • Base of bogies – 1,400 mm
