ChME3
The ČKD ČME3 is a six axle road-switcher diesel-electric locomotive with electric transmission built by ČKD. The class were used primarily for shunting and mainline duties. 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.
