DetailsThe diesel-electric D.145 locomotives, weighing 70 tonnes with a Bo’Bo’ axle arrangement, were introduced to spearhead the modernisation of the Italian State Railways (FS) in the late 1970s. Entering service in 1982, these were among the first diesel locomotives to feature a distinctive orange livery. Designed for versatility, the D.145 locomotives excel in both freight train operations with a maximum speed of 100 km/h and heavy shunting duties at lower speeds, making them invaluable assets for diverse railway tasks. - Modernisation Milestone: Initiated the upgrade of the Italian State Railways diesel fleet in the late 1970s.
