One of a series of Polish industrial locomotives built after World War II. Rated at 800 hp, it reached 40 kmh (25 mph).
Data from Phillipe Quiot on the website [].
Part of the Slask class. [], a Swiss museum website, says 102 examples were supplied to China. It also credits the Slask with a 50 kmh (31 mph) top speed.
