Diesel locomotive G 1000 series
Locomotives, railway wagons – Diesel locomotives
The G 1000 series locomotives are four-axle diesel-hydraulic locomotives for heavy-duty shunting operations and light-duty track service with a two-stage reversing gear unit. They are very well suited for transport movements to supply and remove materials from railway construction sites and for heavy-duty work train deployments.
Functional Characteristics
- Control in multiple unit possible (between each other and with G 1206)
- Strong tractive effort on starting
- Two-stage reversing gear (track gear, shunting gear)
- Low continuous speed, suitable for unloading rails and ballast
- Anti-skid and wheel-slip protection
