Explore the powerful DL560C diesel locomotive, a robust workhorse with a rich history.

This versatile locomotive, also known as the WDM-2 series, was first built in 1962 by ALCo and DLW, becoming a staple in railway operations.

Featuring a top speed of 120 km/h and a broad gauge of 1676 mm, it's engineered for demanding track conditions.
