There are two series of the locomotive, the first 15 having direct current motors, the latter 70 having alternating current motors. The units have Bo'Bo' wheel arrangement and are powered by 720 kW engines (depending on model)[1] Most of these are scrapped, some of these were converted to diesel-hydraulic traction, remaining ones are working in yard duties.
