DetailsThe Class EN57 electric multiple unit was produced for the Polish State Railways (PKP) between 1961 and 1993. This three-car unit has been widely used for local passenger services, particularly around the Gdansk region and on the Szybka Kolej Miejska w Trójmiescie suburban railway line, which now operates independently of PKP. A complete train consists of a fixed formation with two driving trailers, designated 5B, and a centre carriage known as type 6A by the manufacturer. The inclusion of Scharfenberg couplers allows for the formation of double traction or even longer train sets, enhancing operational flexibility. - Extensive Production: Built over three decades for reliable local transport across Poland.
- Regional Use: Commonly operates around Gdansk and the Trójmiescie suburban network.
- Fixed Train Formation: Comprises two driving trailers (5B) and a central carriage (type 6A).
- Flexible Coupling: Scharfenberg couplers enable longer trains through double traction.
- Proven Reliability: A staple of Polish regional rail transport for decades.
This detailed model perfectly captures the design and operational history of the Class EN57 multiple unit, making it a valuable addition for collectors and enthusiasts of Polish railway stock. |
