Malakhit 3ES8 electric locomotive put into operation in Russia   According to Gudok daily, last Monday the new locomotive hauled a 6,200 t train with 62 cars over a distance of about 200 km after a successful test run under real conditions but without cars. At the end of the week, Russian Railways, RZD, reported the locomotive hauled a heavier train of 7,018 t with 77 cars on the Babaevo–Ust-Luga route.   The 12,000 kW Malakhit was certified in August and delivered to RZD in December last year. The vehicle will be used on the St. Petersburg–Babaevo–Ust-Luga section of the Oktyabrskaya Railway, a branch of Russian Railways. Under a life-cycle contract, the Babaevo depot will provide its after-sales service.   Over the next month, the vehicle built by Ural Locomotives, a subsidiary of Sinara–Transport Machines, will undergo tests with an electric traction laboratory that will record its actual tractive effort. If these tests are also successful, the electric locomotive will be approved to haul trains over 12,000 t. RZD plans to use 3ES8 to haul 7,100 t trains on mountain rail sections of the Trans-Siberian Railway and 9,000 t trains in the European Russia.   Images: Evgeniy Demkhovsky/railgallery #rollingstock #rail #railway #electriclocomotives

My thoughts on the new parks opening up in Mazatlán: just like any projects, there are pros and cons. The three big positives I see are: First: abundant labor as Mazatlán is not an industrial city. Second: exporting and shipping to west ports in the US should be fast and cheap. Third: I bet executives, customers and suppliers would love to visit the manufacturing facilities. #Mr.Nearshoring® #MexicoNearshoring #MexicoManufacturing

Have you had an incident where one of your cars have popped off the tracks or a locomotive decided to get a little wobbly and slip a rail? Did you know Holmatro manufactures some of the most compact rerailing solutions in the market. The system as shown below can be set up easily in areas where conventional rerailing techniques don’t work such as tunnels, limited space areas along rail lines in mountains and along wet lands this simple solution can be transported in pick up trucks and larger Utvs and can allow quick effective access to getting your line open. Combine this with our omnishore product line you can stabilize and move cars in some of the most challenging terrain in the world.

What is the concept behind the Model Railway ERA System? The model railway era system serves as a way to categorise historical periods and group products based on the specific time they were operational in real life. Find out more here https://lnkd.in/eggp73Mp

Yesterday, Hinfra, together with Stefano Guanziroli, participated in the 3rd European Conference on Tunnel Renovation with the workshop titled "𝘼𝙪𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙚 𝙍𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙏𝙚𝙘𝙝𝙣𝙞𝙦𝙪𝙚 – 𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙏𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙄𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙀𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚." The event highlighted how the proposed technology for the rapid restoration of deteriorated tunnel vaults is well-received within a framework of tunnel stewardship by managers or owners. This concept is understood in its broadest sense as the comprehensive responsibility for infrastructure, encompassing economic, technical, environmental, social, and ethical dimensions—all values that align perfectly with Hinfra's solution. #hinfra #engineering #railway #highway #tunnel #infrastructure #COBinternational 

Old railway track in Greece converted into railbiking adventure experience. Railway draisines, also known as railbikes, were invented in the mid-19th century as a way for railway workers to inspect and maintain the tracks. Now being used to transform abandend railways. Railbiking in Greece, situated in Megara, covers a distance of 7 km. Video credit: iamdaskalo/IG Adventure storyteller.

🚧 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗨𝗟𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗚𝗨𝗔𝗥𝗗™ 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗯𝗲𝘀 🚧 The new season is off to a strong start for SOLOSAR! We had the honor of closing out the summer with a major achievement: the application of our ULTRAGUARD™ system on the brand-new brige at Sophia Antipolis in Antibes. This is a first for the Alpes-Maritimes and the entire PACA region! 🌟 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹? This bridge is a key element in relieving congestion at the Hauts d’Antibes roundabout, one of the busiest roads in the department, 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝟱𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝘃𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝘆. Thanks to this new infrastructure, we anticipate 𝗮 𝟮𝟬% 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰 in the area, significantly improving flow for everyone. 💡 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗨𝗟𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗚𝗨𝗔𝗥𝗗™ ? From the start of the project, the SETEC Engineering Office recommended ULTRAGUARD™ to secure a strategic curve, located after a 70-meter climb and lacking lighting. Its performance, efficiency, and excellent value made ULTRAGUARD™ the ideal solution. 📊 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀: 🔥 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆: we took on the challenge of intervening in the final phase of the project, despite the distance from our plant, while meeting tight deadlines. ✅ 𝗘𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆: 376 meters of bridge barriers equipped with ULTRAGUARD™, providing optimal protection for road users. 👓 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: High-quality retroreflection for improved nighttime safety, an essential feature for this type of infrastructure.
