EffiShunter 1000M for CER Cargo

CER Cargo Slovakia will soon receive two Class 742 diesel locomotives that have been modernized by CZ Loko. The locomotives, designated 742 761 and 762 and classified as EffiShunter 1000M models, will be operational in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and Croatia.

The two locomotives, ordered in the second half of 2019, correspond to the 50 locomotives (nos. 742 711 through 760) that were modernized for CD Cargo from 2020 through 2022: Caterpillar 3508C with 1,000 kW, paired with a Siemens 1FC2 560-6 traction generator, a top speed of 100 km/h, and a weight of 70 t. Unlike CD Cargo’s ETCS-equipped locomotives, the CER locomotives are equipped with the Indusi and Mirel VZ1 train control systems.

The locomotive, built by Siemens as the 927th “Vectron,” underwent test runs while still designated 91 80 6192 020-6 D-SIEAG—it was renumbered before being transferred to Romania. Incidentally, there is also a 192 003 in Germany at InfraLeuna—though it bears the NVR number 91 80 6192 003-2 D-LEUNA.

EP Cargo a.s. has now received a license for Hungary, in addition to safety certificates in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Poland. Valid from June 5, 2020, to October 12, 2020. The short validity period is due to the uniform expiration date for all of the company’s certificates.

The French company Transifer SAS has been granted a license extension in the form of a single safety certificate valid from June 3, 2020, through June 3, 2025.

Shortly before its expiration on July 1, the safety certificate (Part A) of the Swedish company ProTrain Trafik AB was renewed. The new validity period is from June 5, 2020, to June 4, 2025.

Metrans Rail (Deutschland) GmbH (MTRD), based in Leipzig, received a safety certificate (Parts A and B) valid from June 5, 2020, through June 4, 2025, for rail freight transport in Germany.

Following Track Tec Rail in April 2020, the safety certificate—Parts A and B for Poland—for the sister company Track Tec Logistics Sp. z o.o. was also extended ahead of schedule. The new validity period is from June 29, 2020, to June 29, 2025.

Shortly before its safety certificate was set to expire, ferrotract SAS received a single safety certificate for France—valid from June 19, 2020, through June 19, 2025.

DB Cargo Polska SA may continue to operate under its own license. The Part A+B safety certificates have been renewed and are now valid from June 12, 2020, through June 12, 2025.

The Hungarian company Komplex Rail Kft. now holds a license for Slovakia, in addition to those it already holds for Hungary and the Czech Republic. The safety certificate is valid from June 15, 2020, through March 29, 2021.

The newly established company EVM Rail S.r.l. has received a single safety certificate for Italy, valid from June 29, 2020, through June 28, 2025.

The A certificate held by the Polish freight railway Torpol SA since 2015 has been renewed. The new validity period is from June 12, 2020, to June 12, 2025.

The license held by duisport rail GmbH for the Netherlands has also been extended. However, instead of a B certificate, the company now holds an ERA SSC valid from June 23, 2020, to June 22, 2025, covering the entire network except for the HSL Süd. “Compared to the exclusively national option, this wasn’t exactly ‘cheap,’ so it would be nice if we could recoup the costs through corresponding operations. But it will essentially serve as a ‘better backup,’ since we’d prefer not to compete with any of our partners in or around Duisburg whenever possible.” Railexperts operates the control center for duisport rail in the Netherlands.
