Roco 78005 H0 Rh 2062 diesel locomotive of Austrian Federal Railways
In order to replace the cost-intensive and personnel-intensive steam locomotives in shunting service, the Austrian Federal Railways procured a series of 400 hp diesel locomotives of the series 2062 from 1958. The Jenbacher plants in Tyrol built a total of 65 units of this two-axle mini diesel locomotive until 1966.With its striking, cast-iron front shields serving as ballast weights, the locomotive was used throughout Austria in the distribution and construction services. On the lower Austrian side trains these locomotives were found in front of passenger trains with one to two wagons. The last locomotives left the normal operating service in 2003. However, some models are still in use as factory and construction train locomotives with the serial designation X262.This text is machine translated.
