Electric locomotive EP05-01 of the Polish State Railways.In 1961, the PKP acquired 30 four-axle electric locomotives from Å koda in PlzeÅ (Czechoslovakia), which were classified as EU05 series in the fleet. This was a slightly modified version of the E 499.1 series of the Czechoslovakia State Railways (ÄSD). For use on the Centralna Magistrala Kolejowa Warsaw - Krakow/Katowice built in 1971, the EU05 was rebuilt in the repair plant GdaÅsk from 1973 to 1977 by changing the transmission ratio for a maximum speed of 160 km/h. According to the use in express train transport, they received the series designation EP05 and an orange paint instead of the previous paint in two different shades of green.This text is machine translated.
