TheTE2 (Russian:ТЭ2;Ukrainian:ТЕ2) is a class ofSovietdiesel-electric locomotives built byMalyshev Factory inKharkiv,Ukraine, from 1948 to 1955. It is nominally a two-unit version of classTE1 but is very different in appearance. While the TE1 is a Co-Cohood unit, the TE2 is a Bo-Bo+Bo-Bocab unit.[1]
Each of the two units is powered by a 736 kW (987 hp; 1,001 PS)Penza D504-stroke 6 cylindersuperchargeddiesel engine and has four 152 kW (204 hp; 207 PS)DCtraction motors.
Prototypes were built in 1948 and 1949 and series production ran from 1950 to 1955.[2] A total of 528 pairs was built.[2] Each pair carried a single number in the range 001 to 528.[2]
A TE2-414 is preserved at the Museum of Railway Technology,Saint Petersburg.
The TE4 was an experimental modification of a TE2, designed to run on solid fuel by using aproducer gas system. The gas generator was mounted on a four-axle non-powered unit, placed between the TE2 power units, making a wheel arrangement of Bo-Bo+2-2+Bo-Bo. It was not a success and was converted back to a TE2.SeeТЭ4 at the Russian-language Wikipedia.
The TE6 was a class of sixteen TE2-type locomotives ordered by the Ministry of Defence in 1952. They were single-section and their purpose was to serve as locomotives or mobilealternating current generators.[2] They were designed to "meet the requirements of protection against injury factors of a nuclear explosion".ТЭ6[1]
