Six new 3TE28 diesel locomotives, powered by Kolomzavod 18-9DGM diesel generators, arrived at the Tynda depot of the Far Eastern Railway.
A convoy of new diesel locomotives was led to their home depot by locomotive number 100, decorated with an image of an Amur tiger. The "jubilee" diesel locomotive, unofficially nicknamed "Amurka," has become a true jewel of the Baikal-Amur Mainline. Its tiger-like design symbolizes the locomotive's power and endurance, and also highlights the importance of preserving rare animals in the Far East, where these locomotives operate. It is the most powerful diesel locomotive with a domestically produced diesel generator set in Russia.
Each 3TE28 locomotive manufactured by the Bryansk Machine-Building Plant is equipped with three diesel generators. This means the 100th locomotive is equipped with the 300th 18-9DGM engine—the Kolomensky Plant's anniversary engine.
