International Railroad Discussion > Out of Africa, What is this Loco?Date: 11/08/12 03:15 Out of Africa, What is this Loco? Author: McKey Could this loco be Chinese? Any idea of the type and user?
Thank you for any guesses and knowledge! John   Date: 11/08/12 04:56 Re: Out of Africa, What is this Loco? Author: GettingShort Certainly looks Chinese. Vietnam has a similar model, their D19e class. Built in China by the Gia Lam Workshop, with a Caterpillar prime mover.

SDD1A with Cat 3512B, C-C, 81 metric tonnes Roll down through this document to "Export Record 6" http://lawrenceavenue.org/download/CSR_ziyang.pdf Above doc is out of date, there are more than 8 in Sudan, Do not equate the loco in the photo with the SDD1 which has a Cat 3516B, and weighs 99 tonnes Ignore the crap about CSR building reliable locomotives, they don't, which is why they need Chinamen in the Sudan to keep them running http://www.csrgc.com.cn/ens/xwzx/2011-08-23/4986.shtml Date: 11/09/12 04:41 Re: Out of Africa, What is this Loco?
