The type Henschel KK16 is a series of six-axle diesel-electric locomotives , which the company Henschel in 1957 to the Egyptian National Railways gave Egyptian National Railways (ENR).
History and description
The KK16 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 .
With two diesel engines and two main generators , the KK16 was, as far as its interior was concerned, a doubled EMD G8 . GM-EMD had delivered such machines to Egypt the year before ; the KK16 was also compatible with them in terms of remote control. Unlike the G8, however, the KK16 had two terminal cabs and outwardly resembled the Class B 60 of Victorian Railways .
The KK16 was intended for the transport of ore trains in the Nile Valley . Its two eight-cylinder diesel engines of the type 8-567 CR from EMD, each with an output of 670 kW, supplied the electricity for four electric motors via generators . Those drove the outer axles of the two three-axle bogies with the wheel order (A1A) '(A1A)'.
With their headlights arranged one above the other, the fronts were very reminiscent of their American models. The front windows were provided with protective grilles to protect them from falling rocks.
A total of 13 machines of this type were built by Henschel and delivered to ENR. They had the factory numbers 29532 to 29544 and were given the road numbers 3101 to 3113 in Egypt. The locomotives were painted green and had two parallel, white-lined red stripes underneath the fan band, which were drawn down in a V-shape on the fronts.
Whereabouts
None of the KK16 machines are in use at the ENR.
