Overview of the BMZ TEM1M

Discover the TEM1M, a powerful diesel locomotive designed for 1520 mm broad gauge railways.

Built by BMZ between 1976 and 1968, this robust locomotive, part of the TEM1 series, has undergone significant refurbishment by AstraTZ and Milorem, with 142 units receiving the TEM1M designation.

Featuring a top speed of 90 km/h and a Co'Co' axle configuration, the TEM1M is known for its durability and efficiency.

Today, these versatile locomotives are operated by private owner groups in Russia and Ukraine, identified as @private-ru TEM1M and @private-ua TEM1M, making them sought-after for both collectors and operational use on broad gauge networks.
