TU8 (ТУ8) – Soviet, later Russian diesel locomotive for gauge 750 mm (2 ft 5 ¹⁄₂ in).

History

Diesel locomotive TU8 (ТУ8) is used for transportation & shunting services on narrow-gauge railways with a track gauge ranging from 750 mm (2 ft 5 ¹⁄₂ in) to 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in). The TU8 was developed in 1987 – 1988 at the Kambarka Engineering Works to replace the ageing locomotive classes TU6A (ТУ6А). The cab is equipped with efficient heat-system, refrigerator, radio-set and air conditioning.[1]

Series locomotives

The diesel locomotive TU8 (ТУ8) has been used as the basis of three other locomotives:

gollark: Yes, so 3 of that would be 6 moles Fe2O3.

gollark: Did it *come* with the formula and say "how many moles of O2 do you need to get three 2Fe2O3s", or what?

gollark: ... wait, no, I'm being silly, you'd still have the same ratio of thing to other thing.

gollark: Not sure why, I guess it's more convenient.

gollark: I just use whole numbers for everything myself, but my (GCSE) Chemistry teacher does do stuff like 1/2O2 sometimes.
