| has gloss | eng: SP32 is a Romanian series of diesel passenger locomotives used by PKP. History The start of the 1980s was the dawn of Polish steam locomotives era. New diesel locomotives were needed for pulling passenger trains. Locomotives that were able to heat carriages with electrical systems were most in demand. Due to an economic crisis within Poland, it was impossible to start local production, so PKP decided to buy 200 locomotives produced in FAUR works from Bukarest, Romania. This company had previously produced Lxd2 and MBxd2 narrow gauge locomotives for PKP. |
