Overview of the Zastal PKP Lyd1

Discover the PKP Lyd1, a compact and robust narrow-gauge diesel locomotive designed for operational efficiency on secondary lines and industrial railways.

Built by Fablok and Zastal between 1960 and 1972, this locomotive is a testament to durable engineering.

With a 750 mm gauge and a modest weight of 18 tons, the PKP Lyd1 is exceptionally maneuverable. Its dimensions, including a length of 5.72 meters, width of 3.05 meters, and height of 2.06 meters, allow it to navigate tight curves and confined spaces with ease.

Originally serving the Polish State Railways (PKP), the Lyd1's legacy continues with operators like Stowarzyszenie Kolejowych Przewozów Lokalnych (SKPL), where it operates as the SKPL Lyd1. Reaching a top speed of 40 km/h, it remains a reliable workhorse for specialized rail operations.
