OPE1-395 Bogatyr' open cast mine, Ekibastuz. 12th May 2024.

            Double unit mine diesel electric OPE1-395 comes into the Bogatyr' mine, Ekibastuz, with another rake of coal wagons for loading further down the mine. These locomotives were the first Mine Electrics, or Traction Units as they are know, to be produced in then Soviet union, by the Novocherkassk electric locomotive factory in the Rostov region. They are a remodelling of the VL80 main line design, and were introduced in 1969 with production up to 2002. One half houses the electric equipment and the other half a diesel engine, same as with the M62 type. But in the case here it seems clear that the diesel engine is never used. This unit was manufactured in 1988. Most units have a slave traction unit in the form of a permanently attached motorised dumpcar, though not in this case as the coal is not heavy enough to require this.
