The E 1300 is a series of electric locomotives produced by the Moroccan railway company Office National des Chemins de Fer (ONCF).
History, description and use
The eighteen class E 1300 express train locomotives were intended to replace the last vehicles delivered before the ONCF was founded. They were ordered from the French company GEC Alsthom ; they are closely related to the BB 7200 series of the French state railway SNCF . The locomotive boxes were made by the Société cherifienne de construction industrial et ferroviaire (SCIF) in Aïn Sebaâ , Morocco , where the machines were fully assembled. In each case a drive motor with GTO - chopper control drives both axes of the two bogies on. The design of the locomotives, known as “ Nez cassés ” (broken noses), comes from Paul Arzens .
As universal locomotives, the E 1300 are mainly used in fast passenger traffic. Since they do not have a 380 volt three-phase power supply for the cars, a generator car is added to the train for this purpose . The locomotives can also be found in front of freight trains, but rarely in the phosphate traffic, which makes up around 75% of the ONCF's freight volume.
