Kind of a Mad Max version of a Crocodile.
They can work independently. Each unit can be unplugged if the front or back unit derails they just unplug it, and off they go....designed to work on very badly laid track
@@MikeDerry-ro3fqWhaaat that's nuts!
@@AndreiTupolev Better and stronger. Made for mining.
@@MikeDerry-ro3fqSo the front and back are like slugs?
@tanyajackson3833 Yet, she still sexy.
Those locos working in a really hard conditions. Like fifteen years ago i was on one of these locos, when we were visiting one of those coal mines near Nové Sedlo u Lokte, when i was studying. In this video u can see them on a classic rail network. But we see them, when they were on its mission...on surface of the mine itself, in many levels...they are using portable tracks and electric lining. That is why they were build, many years ago, from three blocks and every axle is powered...to minimalize the issue of derailment in those very very hard conditions...they like drifting with the wagons on a very primitive rails...but it has a point...you can move the rails and the electric lines straight to the place where the coal is mined by a few hours...
@@DannyfromCZ thank you. Very interesting 👌
Wow, interesting... thanks for the insight!
a beauty she's not, but she has character :)
And how!!!
Yeah, same as my neighbours wife.
Bit like a Skoda Estelle.
Well put!
A me fa schifo !!! Riesce ad essere forse peggiore di certe già scadenti locomotrici italiane !!!
Wow, what a monster. A periscope might be useful for the driver, but potentially difficult with the overhead wires!
Awesome Video! Locomotive looks like something from the future.
It's a very impressive piece of machinery

Not easy for forward vision by the crew.

Beautiful locos, I have to admit. Last year, I was in Třebušice in person. Since I'm a Czech from Prague, I do not have it far away. The conditions these locomotives work in are tough, I mean REALLY tough. But beautiful. They bring the coal from the mines to coal processing plant (úpravna uhlí Komořany) and then distribute it all across Czechia and Europe. It is a shame that these locos will not last for a long - these mines are closing soon (I think the ČSA mine is currently at the process of closing).
@@janhlousek6567 Yes, it is very sad.
Seen the pictures. The only thing indicating the presence of tracks are the poles for the overhead wires
Super beautiful electric dinosaur❤

Very similar

A very interesting subject with impressive locos really made for heavy haul!
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you
美しすぎる。機能美ってやつだ。
In June 1970, I was in Hof, on the East-West border, watching DB steam locos working. 100 miles from this. Those engines are beautiful!
They do have one thing in common with Ferrari's though. Not beautiful or ugly by design, but when they excel in doing what they are designed for, they will become beautiful. What an impressive piece of machinery !
d'ya think Hornby will make one ? wouldn't it be great ! looks like an electric Garatt .
There is greater chance that Tillig will make one in 1:120, or perhaps some small Czech manufacturer will produce limited number of those. But while railway modelling is more or less popular hobby in Czechia (I could be biased a little bit), people do not exactly model industrial railways of Northern Bohemia, nor industrial railways in general, maybe save for some narrow gauge stuff, but rather normal railway. So it perhaps never came to anybody's mind to produce model of electric industrial locomotive.
Hello, beautiful video. When you upload a video please put country and city, it is very useful to know, thank you. Czech Republic? felicitaciones.
It's in Most, Czech Republic...
Most, Czechia
These are pretty interesting locomotives
Is that the new Skoda Octavia? JK Lol very interesting looking thing. It looks cool!!!
@CrazyCat234 very strong 💪
hi, a pure Dr Frankenstein loco, brilliant !
I think they are beautiful 😄
What a sexy looking loco. God. I love Milwaukee Road Box Cabs too. My heart skipped a beat. I can't stop looking at it and with both pantographs up and side pantographs as well. What a fantastic utilitarian looking locomotive. I read transition unavailable so it really is a mining only loco.
I can hardly contain myself
must... lie... down...
I will try to see if I can get more videos on them.... they are not the easiest locomotives to get close to...Private property..
To be frank they wouldn't be able to operate on any other line as they operate on 1.5kV DC while network in Czechia operates either on 3kV DC or 25kV AC.
In regards to Milwaukee Road electric locomotives, I always preferred the EP-2. It's almost my favorite US based electric only bested by the GG1.
@Kboyer36 I have both GG1 and EP2 on my lay out.
There's a train game called Derail Valley I play a lot, and the first locomotive you unlock in the game, the DE2, is based on the locomotive at 0:15. It's so cool to see it in real life!
the most funny lookin loco, but its interesting..
That is a nice loco. Not like those ugly Azuma's
The visibility from that cab looks nonexistant!
THAT WEIRD ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE LOOKS LIKE SOME ALIEN MONSTER BEING OR CONTRAPTION. ARE WE ON EARTH HERE OR ON SOME FAR FLUNG PLANET IN ANOTHER GALAXY? SOME DELIGHTFULLY GRUESOME INDUSTRIAL SCENERY AND GREAT METAL CLANKINGS. DID HUMANS REALLY BUILD THIS WORLD?
yes we design it, now get off your tin foil hat
Super :)
That would fit perfectly in a "future past" anime or any one of a hundred steampunk comics, animations, or movies!
@@normandedgerly8445 👍
It seems it was designed for massive pulling power and they did not care what it looked like.
@@thomaslusk7621 Like the German class E95, but the E91 is a bit closer to the Skoda by its concept - and better looking than the E95.
vůbec jsem nevěděl, že něco takového existuje. Nedávno jsem to viděl naživo a čuměl jsem dost. Zajímavý stroj.
a little bit of MadMax 🙂
Yes...😁
Great video on a rathe unusual subject, and does anyone know what that blue thing was at 4:40 ? Weird.
@@3DComputing it's for laying new track into the Mines. Lifting old track.
That is one of the stangest locos i've ever seen.
Quelle magnifique locomotive, un modèle très particulier, j'adore 😍😍😍
👍
One of the weirdest locomotives I've ever seen. Which axles are powered?
Hi there. They're all power. The engines can work independently from each other.
What a beautiful machine
Quick zooming is ruining your videos.
Impressive locomotive!
My father worked like train driver on Škoda 26 Em in 80's, from outside almoust similar like these newer Škoda 27 E.
@tomastuma214 that's very interesting..good memories. Thank you.
@@MikeDerry-ro3fq I thank you for great and rare video, just send it to my father, he will like it too :)
it looks like the Chernobyl sarcophagus on wheels. man made horrors beyond comprehension.
Pěkný úlovky!
5:35 - Ah, my favorite train - NOVA PROSPECT EXPRESS
What a Machine?
Saw similar in China a couple of times, the visibility for driving looks poor.
That's what I was thinking, how do they see out?
Amazing crocodyle, what model is this?

Super video of a very interesting looking loco'
@@daystatesniper01 Thank you
Did anyone consider the driver when they designed that beast?
@@thomasm1964 Probably not..😀😃
They look so powerfull! Great loco's!
@user-rs3jn1sg9z My favorite as well.... not so easy to video....the mine won't let me near them.😀
As far as I know, the side pantographs are in use in coal loading area - if the coal is falling into cars from the top, you can't have the trolleys in the way. I remember seeing it in an old movie about these machines.
@liskacek1 You are correct.
707... Nickname "Quasimodo" ?
Ugly by design and unloved, uncared for.
i have never seen a more hideous machine.
not even the breguet alizee is as ugly as that Mofo.
As a German, I have to say: WTF are those...
Yeah, I kinda get, what americans mean, by "third world countries". This is like a no man's land train.
Gorgeous monstrosities.
7:43 is so incredibly scenic!
ciekawy projekt, tylko dlaczego nikt nie remontuje wagonow?, pewnie wioza odpady radioaktywne!!!😥
Cool! I had no idea Czechoslovakia had it's own Crocodile locomotive! Does anyone know if it has ever been made into model?
@nikolayvasylyev5738 funny, you should say that..quite a few guys have asked.... I'm not sure. These engines are nothing like the Crocs.... they built for mining.
Coal trains are important and will become the backbone of our planetary energy supply within a couple of decades, when stockpiles of oil, gas and uranium will be depleted. Coal can replace ever hdrocarbon compound and the ash from coal power plants is a rich source of uranium. And coal will last for about 400 years, while the collapse of the planetary climate might come after about 500 years.Therefore, we don't have to worry about climate change.
I can almost feel the grit. Nice photography
Very interesting looking loco
It is rather...
@@MikeDerry-ro3fq At first I thought it was autonomous or radio controlled. Didn't see a cab until closer inspection.
At least it doesn’t have a curved Perspex front end. Just steel covers for easy unbreakable access.No cheap ass Boeing clip on covers.
@@PaulWannenburg They are built to last
I bet the cab view is limited by the canenary system.....on both ends too.
grazie per il video molto interessante.😀👏👏👏 Per caso si conoscono peso, potenza e velocità di questa originale locomotiva? (Che pure a me ricorda il coccodrillo...versione Mad Max!!)
Aggiungo: ho visto che questa locomotiva non tira mai più dì 10 vagoni e viaggia a bassa velocità nonostante sia elettrica... Visto che comunque è di grandi dimensioni (con tutti i tre pezzi uniti) mi viene da pensare che tutto quello spazio potrebbe contenere motori elettrici non potenti assieme a motori diesel o batterie per funzionare in mancanza di linea elettrica.
In winter I could tell by smell if i was standing in Austria or Czech Republic..

How does the driver see?
@lesbird2074 not to bad. I climbed up into the cab. Driver has the same vision as a steam locomotive.
Very interesting and lloks like high voltage AC by the length of the insulators.
I notice pantographs mounted at and angle and wonder what these are for.
Could it be lack of tunnel clearance and so a contact wire mounted on the side of the tunnel?
@@Steven_Rowe HI there. It's D C volt . Side mounted pantographs are used when loading coal.
Это не паровоз,это электровоз. Горнодобывающей промышленности. Такие в карьерах работают.

This thing is straight out of a fallout game
There levers at the switches in the begining of the film, can they be manovered by hand?
Sorry.. I cannot be sure.
If the colour coding is same as on other lines, as this is privet line in mines, then those can either be remotely or manually operated.
Very nice locomotive, in the best "crocodile" style. Off Topic: What are those (5:38) pipes that are in the "ex-Soviet" countries for?
@@aleu650 I'm not sure. I will ask around.
Afaik they are for district heating
@@larstragl146 Thank you very much for the reply. 👍
1) Czechoslovakia was not part of the USSR, so post-socialist country
2) Heat distribution, either steam or hot water.
The pipes are for Gass and oil transport all eventually leading back to Russia trough Ukraine. Slovakia is still buying Russian oil for example for the Refinery
what in the french fried…
they look sick but how do they see?
Gotta be the ugliest electric locomotives I've ever seen! And I thought the GG1 was horrible for cab visibility. I bet they can probably pull the gates off of Hell, though.

What the hell is that????!!!!!!😮

what's the thing at 4:40?
Great video! Like me!
Thank you
Was ist das für eine Maschine, die bei 4:38 vorbei gefahren ist?
das ist ja das tschechische Kroki! 😲 wir haben auch eins in der Schweiz! 😀
what is this creature
Interesting that these cars have not been covered by graffiti! Vandalism considered art by those that don’t have to clean it and repaint reporting marks.
Is there a driver on the green locos?? if so where!?! 😲
ETA ok seen a close up now and i can see the windows which I couldn't see on this video
The poor rails!
It looks sick! Dope! And cool!
I love it - thanks for this video!
Crocodildo)
Some of those loco look very similar to the U.S. box cabs.
I have made a couple of visits to Czech Republic to travel on the trains. I never knew of the existence of this railway. The locomotives are remarkable. Never seen anything like them before!
@GarethJonesPilipala It's a mining company. They're very strict about people filming . I've had to sneak in to film these videos.
What’s the one at 4:39? Looks like maintenance equipment, a track tamper maybe?
I'm not sure what that was... I could not get to close, private mining railway
That's a machine for moving the temporarily laid tracks in the mining pit. The rollers in the middle grab the rails, lift the track up a bit and move it to one side. Don't know the English word though (in German it's "Gleisrückmaschine").
@schmierlapp353 Thanks, for the information
@@schmierlapp353 thank you so much for this comment! I was losing my mind over searching for that rail vehicle before I found your reply to @skyraiderjet 's parent comment.
It's rather silent/calm for its size?

It's an electric locomotive . Designed just for coal Mines. It's three separate units.
