KLUB-U in-cab signalling systems are able to decode the track-side ALSN codes (Continuous Automatic Train Signallisation) which is similar to RS4 Codici (comparable to Pulse Code Cab Signaling in the US). In the newer ABTC-M block control the KLUB-U systems decode signals by TETRA digital radio including a remote initiation of a train stop.
The unit also had new control circuit wires and power cables and video surveillance cameras installed. Cab upgrades include a new control panel, a new chair, HVAC system, and ultraviolet lamp for disinfection of frequently touched surfaces. The upgraded unit offers a 30% reduction in fuel usage and comes at 60% of the cost of a new locomotive. [2]
The ice-breaking train ferry SS Baikal built in 1897 and smaller ferry SS Angara built in about 1900 made the four-hour crossing to link the two railheads. [17] [18] The Russian admiral and explorer Stepan Makarov (1849–1904) designed Baikal and Angara but they were built in Newcastle upon Tyne, by Armstrong Whitworth.
The EP20 was developed by an Alstom/Transmashholdingjoint venture TRTrans, established in Novocherkassk, by French, Belgian, and Russia based engineers. [5] [6] [7]One specification for the design was the ability to haul 24 coaches at 160 km/h or 17 coaches at 200 km/h on straight level track.
Russian Railways accounts for 2.5% [6] of Russia's GDP and employs 800,000 people. [7] The percentage of passenger traffic that goes by rail is unknown, since no statistics are available for private transportation such as private automobiles. In 2007, about 1.3 billion passengers [8] and 1.3 billion tons of freight [9] went via
Russian Railways or RZD (Russian: ОАО «Российские железные дороги» (ОАО «РЖД»), romanized: OAO Rossiyskie zheleznye dorogi (OAO RZhD)) is a Russian fully state-owned vertically integrated railway company, both managing infrastructure and operating freight and passenger train services and has a near-monopoly on long-distance train travel in Russia.
M62 is equipped with electro-pneumatic multiple-unit controls; therefore it is possible to drive two locomotives from one cab. The locomotive had enough power to pull a 1,000 t (980 long tons; 1,100 short tons) freight train with a top speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) (on level track), while two coupled locomotives are able to pull trains up to 3,600 ...
ALSN (автоматическая локомотивная сигнализация непрерывная, in Latin - avtomaticheskaya lokomotivnaya signalizatsiya nepreryvnaya, meaning Continuous Automatic Train Signalling) is a train control system used widely on the main lines of the ex-Soviet states (Russian Federation, Ukraine, Belarus, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia).
