History

Diesel locomotive TU6SPA (ТУ6СПА) is a sub-type of the TU8 diesel locomotive equipped with an electric generator used for energy supply to non self-propelled heavy-duty track machines. The TU6SPA was developed in 1987 - 1993 at the Kambarka Engineering Works to replace the aging locomotive classes TU6SRP (ТУ6СРП). The TU6SPA was designed to be used on any gauge from 750 mm (2 ft 5 ¹⁄₂ in). The cab is equipped with efficient heat-system, refrigerator, radio-set and air conditioning.
