The ChS8 ((ロシア語:ЧС8)) is an electric mainline AC passenger locomotive used in Russia and Ukraine. The 8 axle locomotive was developed for pulling long passenger trains (28–32 carriages) at speeds around of 100 km/h or faster. In 1983 the first two experimental locomotives were constructed and delivered to Kiev for tests and adjustment. In 1987 30 locomotives were built as a mass model. In 1989 last 50 locomotives were built. As the most powerful AC passenger locomotive in USSR designed for long trains, ChS8 experienced a low demand when after the disintegration of USSR passenger turnover in both Russia and Ukraine fell significantly. After 2010 Russian railways turned to more energy-effective EP10 and EP20 as powerful locomotives for fast or long passenger trains. ==See also== * The Museum of the Moscow Railway, at Paveletsky Rail Terminal, Moscow * Rizhsky Rail Terminal, Home of the Moscow Railway Museum * Varshavsky Rail Terminal, St.Petersburg, Home of the Central Museum of Railway Transport, Russian Federation * History of rail transport in Russia 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ChS8」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
