History

The first TU6A was built in 1973 at the Kambarka Engineering Works. 3,915 TU6A locomotives were produced until 1988. The locomotives were used on many narrow gauge railways to move cargo as well as passenger trains. The cab is equipped with efficient heat-system, radio-set and air conditioning.[1]

Series locomotives

The diesel locomotive TU6A (ТУ6А) has been used as the basis of three other locomotives:

gollark: It can output arbitrary syscalls.
gollark: osmarks.net gollarious hypercloud blockchain engineering™ coreutils™ just feed all of `argv` to a GPT-Neo model trained on lots of Linux commands.
gollark: Is "osmarks.net software" a trendy enough name? Maybe it should be "osmarks.net gollarious hypercloud blockchain engineering™ software".
gollark: Anyway, the DreamOS repos should contain *entirely* osmarks.net software.
