The type Henschel AA16 is a series of six-axle diesel-electric locomotives , which the company Henschel 1959/60 to the Egyptian National Railways gave Egyptian National Railways (ENR).
History and description
The AA16 was created using licenses from the US General Motors Electro-Motive Division (GM-EMD). With the locomotive ends known as "Bulldog Nose", which appeared for the first time in the EMD E-Series , it belongs to the EMD F7 family like the Victorian Railways Class B 60 and the NoHAB AA16 .
As early as 1957, Henschel had delivered thirteen optically similar locomotives of the KK16 series to Egypt . These two-engine machines were created as freight locomotives for the operation of ore trains. The AA16, on the other hand, was designed for use in front of passenger trains .
Unlike the KK16, the AA16 only had a diesel engine . The 16-cylinder engine of the type 16-567 C from EMD developed 1434 kW. Via a generator, it supplied the power for four electric motors of the type D 47, which drove the outer axles of the two three-axle bogies with the axle sequence (A1A) '(A1A)'. With a length over the buffers of 21,420 mm, the AA16 was approx. Two meters shorter than the KK16, with a service weight of 112 t, 20 t lighter. The top speed of the AA16 was 120 km / h. With their headlights arranged one above the other, their fronts were strongly reminiscent of their US models. The front windows were provided with protective grilles to protect them from falling rocks.
A total of 38 machines of this type were built by Henschel and delivered to ENR. They had the factory numbers 30200 to 30237 and were given the road numbers 3201 to 3238 in Egypt. The locomotives were painted green and had three parallel decorative stripes in the Egyptian national colors of red, white and black below the fan band , which were V-shaped downwards on the fronts were drawn.
Whereabouts
None of the AA16 machines are in use at the ENR.
