History The company was founded in 2004 as a joint venture of the Masovian Voivodeship, with 51% shares, and the then government-owned Przewozy Regionalne, PKP Przewozy Regionalne, with 49% shares, to handle local passenger traffic in the Voivodeship. It started operating on 1 January 2005. Since the end of 2007 Masovian Railways has been fully owned by the Masovian Voivodeship. Rolling stock At the beginning, the rolling stock consisted of old electric multiple units taken over from the Polish State Railways. These were gradually modernised, and further units purchased second-hand from other operators. Later on, the company purchased or leased new rolling stock. As of 2010 the Masovian Railways had just under 200 PKP class EN57, five PKP class EN71, EN71 and two PKP class EW60, EW60. Additionally, the company purchased seven DB Class 627 railcars and four DB C ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bombardier Double-deck Coach
The Double-deck Coach is a bilevel passenger railcar currently manufactured by Alstom, which acquired Bombardier Transportation in 2021 (and before that by Adtranz and DWA/Waggonbau Görlitz) used by various European railways and Israel Railways. The current generation of double-deck coaches can be run at speeds up to 200 km/h (125 mph). Depending on their configuration, each coach can seat 100 to 150 passengers. History The ancestry of these coaches can be traced back to the LBE double-deck coaches ( de:Doppelstock-Stromlinien-Wendezug der LBE) built by WUMAG at Görlitz for the Lübeck–Büchen–Hamburg railway in 1935–36. They were push-pull trains with a cab car that could control the steam locomotive at the other end of the train. They were the first of their kind to be developed in Germany. After World War II, these coaches were developed further by '' VEB Waggonbau Görlitz'' (formerly WUMAG) into double-deck trains of two to five articulated cars shari ...

PESA SA
Pesa SA (Polish language, Polish: Pojazdy Szynowe Pesa Bydgoszcz) is a Polish rolling stock manufacturer based in Bydgoszcz. The name 'Pesa' derives from the initials PS which stand for ''Pojazdy Szynowe,'' 'railway vehicles' in Polish. Pesa is a successor to the Bydgoszcz repair shops of Polish State Railways, PKP ''Polskie Koleje Państwowe,'' Polish State Railways. From the 1950s until 1998 the repair shops operated under the name ZNTK Bydgoszcz, ''Zakłady Naprawcze Taboru Kolejowego,'' 'Repair Shop for Railway Rolling Stock' in Bydgoszcz. For most of its history the Bydgoszcz shop overhauled and repaired steam locomotives and freight cars. After the End of Communism in Poland (1989), collapse in 1989 of the Communist regime in Poland the ZNTK Bydgoszcz repair shop was spun off in 1991 as an independent company. This led to a re-thinking of the firm's activities, and in 2001 the company was renamed ''Pojazdy Szynowe Pesa Spółka Akcyjna Holding'' (its present name) and ...

Pesa Gama
Pesa Gama is a family of diesel locomotive, diesel and electric locomotives built from 2012 by Pesa SA company. History Origin In 2001, Pesa had announced that they would change their main focus from repairing locomotives to building their own locomotives. Initially, only two units have been built – the first was a mixed-traffic electric locomotive with an additional diesel engine, the second was a pure diesel. Since then a variety of diesel and electric powered locomotives have been built. As of June 2025, there are 137 locomotives in service, in 4 different versions. The Gama ''Marathon'' The first model of the family was the 111Ed ''Marathon'' locomotive. Its construction began in early 2012, and premiered on September 18 at the InnoTrans Trade Fair 2012 in Berlin. The first test drive took place in October 2012 in Bydgoszcz ''Wschód'' Station, and later on the railway lines to Inowrocław, Poznań and Zduńska Wola Karsznice.

Electric Locomotive
An electric locomotive is a locomotive powered by electricity from overhead lines, a third rail or on-board energy storage such as a Battery (electricity), battery or a supercapacitor. Locomotives with on-board fuelled prime mover (locomotive), prime movers, such as diesel engines or gas turbines, are classed as Diesel–electric powertrain, diesel–electric or turbine–electric powertrain, gas turbine–electric and not as electric locomotives, because the electric generator/motor combination serves only as a Transmission (mechanics), power transmission system. Electric locomotives benefit from the high efficiency of electric motors, often above 90% (not including the inefficiency of generating the electricity). Additional efficiency can be gained from regenerative braking, which allows kinetic energy to be recovered during braking to put power back on the line. Newer electric locomotives use AC motor-inverter drive systems that provide for regenerative braking. Electric loco ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

TRAXX
Alstom Traxx (sold as Bombardier TRAXX before 2021) is a modular product platform of mainline diesel-electric and electric locomotives. It was produced originally by Bombardier Transportation and later Alstom, and was built in both freight and passenger variants. The first version was a dual-voltage AC locomotive built for German railways from the year 2000. Later types included DC versions, as well as quadruple-voltage machines, able to operate on all four electrification schemes commonly used in Europe. The family was expanded in 2006 to include diesel-powered versions. Elements common to all variants include steel bodyshells, two bogies with two powered axles each, three-phase asynchronous induction motors, cooling exhausts on the roof edges, and wheel disc brakes. The TRAXX brand name itself was introduced in 2003. The acronym stands for ''Transnational Railway Applications with eXtreme fleXibility''.
