ChME3

The ČKD ČME3 is a six-axle diesel–electric locomotive built by ČKD. The class was used primarily for shunting and mainline duties. With over 8,000 produced during a production run of 31 years, it is one of the most produced locomotives in the world. Units have been operated by Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and other ex-Soviet bloc countries, in Czechoslovakia, on industrial railways in Poland, in Albania, Iraq, Syria and in India.
The ČKD ČME3 is classified as a Co-Co or C-C diesel–electric locomotive, with all six axles powered. As such, it is particularly suited for pulling heavy, slow freight and cargo trains.
