The diesel locomotive, which appeared at the beginning of the 20th century, became an economically viable replacement for both low-efficiency outdated steam locomotives and electric locomotives that appeared at the same time, profitable only on highways with a relatively large freight and passenger traffic.
Passenger diesel locomotives
TEP 60
The TEP60 diesel locomotive is a passenger diesel locomotive produced in the USSR at the Kolomna Diesel Locomotive Plant from 1960 to 1985. A total of 1,241 diesel locomotives of this model were built. The first TEP60 diesel locomotives worked for some time on the Moscow - Leningrad line, then diesel locomotives of this series began to serve passenger trains Leningrad - Tallinn, Lozovaya - Melitopol.
TEP 60-1236
The constructed diesel locomotive had a welded body of a supporting structure with two control cabins, supported by two three-axle bogies. The power structure of the body, bearing the main types of loads, consisted of two longitudinal pipes, on the sides of which there were box-section beams connected to the pipes and to each other by four pivot beams. The trolley frame was made of stamped and cast elements connected by welding. The body skin is made of duralumin, and due to the impossibility of welding, it was necessary to use rivets to connect the skin to the frame. At the ends of the body there were shock-traction devices - SA-3 automatic couplers.
TEP 60-0451
The diesel locomotive was equipped with a 16-cylinder two-stroke diesel engine 11D45 series DN23/30 with a rated power of 3000 hp, designed for this diesel locomotive by the Kolomna Plant.

TEP 70
The TEP 70 diesel locomotive is a passenger diesel locomotive produced in the USSR and produced in a modified form in Russia at the Kolomensky Plant since 1973.
The design of the TEP70 is partly similar to its predecessor TEP60 - also a load-bearing body with similar contours, also a three-axle bogie with a frame drive of the Alstom system (a hollow shaft rigidly connected to the traction motor; the axle of the wheelset runs inside the shaft, and the wheels are connected to the hollow shaft through rubber-metal leads), almost the same refrigeration device with two fans with a hydrostatic drive. However, there are many more differences. In particular, the uneconomical two-stroke diesel engine of the DN23/30 series (the same as on the M62 diesel locomotives, but with an increased number of cylinders and intercooling) was replaced by a four-stroke 5D49, and the DC power transmission was replaced by an AC-DC transmission. Power increased to 4000 hp. instead of the previous 3000.
2 TEP 70
From 1973 to 2006, 576 TEP70 diesel locomotives were produced; such small production volumes are explained by the low capacity of the Kolomna Plant. The first batches of diesel locomotives reached the depot of the Southern Railway (Ukraine), including Smorodino, Lyubotin, Poltava, Lozovaya, and the Oktyabrskaya Railway. Then the geography of distribution of TEP70 expanded significantly and they began to spread throughout Russia, replacing freight diesel locomotives operating in passenger traffic and displacing TEP60, the main disadvantage of which was diesel, which consumes a lot of fuel.

TEP 10
The diesel locomotive began to be produced in 1961 by the Kharkov Transport Engineering Plant. Initially, these diesel locomotives were designated TE11 (the first two diesel locomotives were produced under this series). Based on the test results, the purpose of the TEP10 diesel locomotives was to drive heavy passenger trains.
TEP 10-048
The Kharkov plant built these diesel locomotives in the period 1961-1968. Diesel locomotives of this series, in particular, arrived at the Leningrad-Pasazhirsky-Moskovsky depot to serve trains on the Leningrad-Petrozavodsk, Leningrad-Cherepovets sections and the Saratov, Volgograd and Tashkent depots.
For a long time, this diesel locomotive was the main diesel locomotive in passenger traffic on the Vekovka-Krasnoufimsk section of the Gorky Railway. Including all passenger trains at Art. Kazan ran with this diesel locomotive at a maximum speed of 110 km/h and was called “Strela”, despite the fact that by the 80s this line was completely electrified.

Freight locomotives
M 62
Diesel locomotive M 62 is a cargo-passenger diesel locomotive, created in 1965, produced at the Lugansk Diesel Locomotive Plant since 1965. Among railway workers he is known as “Mashka”.
M 62-1376
The M62 diesel locomotive owes its appearance to one interesting fact: in 1961, the Hungarian Railways purchased 20 Di3 diesel locomotives with a capacity of 2000 hp from the Swedish company Nydqvist och Holm AB (NOHAB). s., which were given the designation M61. The Soviet leadership (in particular, the first secretary of the CPSU Central Committee Nikita Khrushchev) was very unhappy when they learned about this purchase. After this incident, the countries of the socialist camp were prohibited from purchasing locomotives from capitalist countries. At the same time, an order was sent to the Lugansk Diesel Locomotive Plant: to urgently develop a diesel locomotive in the gauge of European railways, for 1435 mm gauge, with a power plant power of 2000 hp. With. The first test copies were built in 1965. Since the new diesel locomotive had approximately the same technical characteristics as the existing M61, the Hungarians gave it the designation M62. Later this designation began to be used in the Soviet Union.

TE 10
Diesel locomotive TE10 - diesel locomotive with electric transmission, type 10.
2TE 10-2110
2TE10M-0766
The first diesel locomotive of the TE10 series had the following characteristics:
Service weight - 138 t

ChME3
Diesel locomotive ChME3 is a Czechoslovak shunting diesel locomotive with electric transmission.
The insufficient power and adhesion weight of the ChME2 for shunting work with freight trains led to the need to design and build stronger diesel locomotives at the ČKD-Prague factories. A decision was made to build six-axle shunting diesel locomotives with electric transmission for the railways of the Soviet Union. At the end of 1964, two experimental locomotives were built, designated ChME3.
