The first tests with Cargounit’s new black Gama Marathon have started. We present locomotive 111Ed-043, which appeared just weeks after the order was announced. On 22.11.2022, the machine left Pesa’s factory in Bydgoszcz.
- Note: Cargounit actually already owns three Gama locomotives, one of them being a Marathon (prototype 111Ed-001/5470 001 and two without diesel engine: 111Eb-003 and 004.
In October 2022, Cargounit announced an order for 10 Gama Marathon locomotives with an option for 20 more, They will feature a slightly different diesel engine with better performance (different than the one installed on subtype 111Ed-30).
CargoUnit: “The Gamas feature a last mile diesel engine with a 480kW power rating, equivalent to the power of a medium sized shunter. This is one of the reasons we went for the Pesa product, besides the short delivery time and an axle load of 20t. Some rail lines in Poland are not compliant with the 22,5t axle load standard.
Below is a fresh picture of the vehicle taken in snowy Bydgoszcz by our reader Michal Dluzak, whom we thank for sharing it:
