China Railways ND2
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ND2 is a class of diesel-electric locomotives employed by China Railways. It is a derivative of LDE2100 (060DA) locomotive produced by Electroputere of Romania. The Chinese Ministry of Railways started the importing of this locomotive in 1974 under a barter arrangement to fill a gap in the domestic locomotive production.
Most of the class were based at Shanghai Bureau, with some others working as far south as Guangzhou. At its apex, ND2 class was the predominant passenger power south of Yangtze River.
Rated at 2300 hp UIC, ND2 traces its lineage back to a Swiss design created by SLM and Sulzer. Externally, ND2 bears resemblance to AE 6/6 Swiss electric locomotives.
