#m62 — Public Fediverse posts on home.social

In operation the M61 had proven to be far more reliable and economical than the M62, and gained cult status among train fans in Hungary over the years.

6 out of the original 20 M61s are still operational, despite the state railways' best efforts in the late 90s to scrap them and sell them for parts. (001, 006, 010, 017, 019, 020 are operational, 002 still exists but almost entirely parted out, 004 partially preserved as a museum exhibit after a major accident).

Train nerding:

In 1963-64, the Hungarian State Railways (MÁV) 🇭🇺 bought 20 American-licensed 🇺🇸 Swedish 🇸🇪 made NOHAB AA16 locomotives. They were put into service under class name "M61", and they were a huge success.

This was so controversial in the East-Bloc, that the Soviet Union decided to build an entire loco-series to compete under type code "M62", and they flooded the entire East-Bloc with them. The naming directly comes from the Hungarian code for the NOHABs.

Today's #DukinfieldCC ride was a hilly one, @ 1200m in 77km. We headed north out from Dukinfield through #Heyrod, #Mossley, #Greenfield and #Uppermill before starting the long climb from #Delph up #MarsdenMoor. At the top of the moor we headed west down the fast, but windy, descent over the #M62 motorway before turning left again taking us to #ScammondenDam. From there we headed across country taking in a few 10% plus-ers before hitting the main road that climbed to the top of #CraggVale. Another windy but speedy drop took us the the cafe in #Littleborough for coffee and refuel before the ride home through #Newhey, #Shaw, #Lees and #Dukinfield. Top day with Angie, Ash, Jane, Paul and a new rider, Andy. #BikeTooter #BikeToot #Duks #Cycling #GroupCycling #ClubRun #ClubRides #RideWithOthers #OutsideIsFree #FromWhereIRide #LoveCycling #EnjoyCycling #CyclingIsLife #ComeCycling #JoinACyclingClub #AllWelcome
