2002: the DJ1 series for China |
|
Around 2001, Siemens built three double unit electrics for the Chinese railways. The six locomotives were the very last complete units constructed at the former SGP workshops in Graz (Austria). The complete series, designated DJ1, incorporates twenty double locomotives. The remaining 17 units were officially built in China, but of course with support of the engineers of Siemens. |

[DE] History: Siemens ES 64 F vs DJ1 [update]
Roughly ten years ago, Siemens already built three double unit electrics for the Chinese railways. The six units were the last complete locomotives constructed at the former SGP workshops in Graz (Austria). The complete series, designated DJ1, incorporates twenty double locomotives. The remaining 17 units were officially built in China, but of course with support of the engineers of Siemens.
The images show locomotive DJ1-0001 next to a locomotive of the 152 series. Regarding the electrical concept, both locomotives have much in common. Mechanical however they are two different worlds. The 152 even looks small next to the Chinese giant. - DGB
Update on current status of DJ1s: The locomotives were originally used on the DaQin line, but now they serve as helper engines on the line from Baoji to Chengdu, to help trains up the grade just South of Baoji, and they are kept in a spotless condition. - JvV
