Opis po angielsku, dla leniwych polecam google translator.
The collection provides another something different for "Switcher Sunday", that being this John Benson photo of WTC
#78. It was a Romanian built diesel locomotive, built in 1974 and demonstrated on the Southern Railway and Santa Fe. Neither liked it as they considered it too small and light, and it ended up sold to WTC, who ran it until 1978. From there it was sold to the GE Sayre Locomotive Shop and ended up scrapped in the late 1980's. Meanwhile, the WTC itself was absorbed into Amtrak in 1981, ending 80 years of switching passenger trains at Washington.
The 78 was basically a type LDH-25 production unit taken from the "FAUR 23rd August Locomotive Works" in Romania. It's a 1250 hp diesel hydraulic unit, powered with a Swiss Sulzer diesel and German Voith transmission. It was probably doomed from the start in the U.S., not only because of being small, but just way different to anything else in the fleet. Meanwhile, back overseas there were 1,650 of these built between 1967 and 1992, for switching and light branchline service. Over half of the total operate in Romania and Bulgaria, but units were also delivered to railroads in Poland, Czechoslovakia, China, USSR, Mozambique, and Iraq.
