Description

Locomotora 318-001 Renfe 1801 Año 1958 - 1457 KW - 120 Km/h.

Español: El perfil redondeado de esta locomotora muestra su origen americano. Al iniciarse la dieselización en España en los años cincuenta, se recurrió a los EE.UU., país cuya tecnología ferroviaria estaba en vanguardia, especialmente en lo referido a tracción diesel. Por ello la mayor parte de las locomotoras adquiridas en aquellos años eran de procedencia estadounidense. En España, estuvieron adscritas al depósito de Orense, circulando principalmente en Galicia y su periferia. Los motores diesel transforman la energía en movimiento, gracias a un motor de combustión interna. Este sistema proporciona una explotación flexible y barata gracias a su elevado aprovechamiento energético, muy superior al de la tracción vapor. Aunque los primeros motores datan del final del siglo XIX, su aplicación al ferrocarril es más tardía, a partir de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

English: The rounded shape of this machine shows its American origin. When the conversion to diesel power began in Spain in the 50's, RENFE turned to the United States, whose railway technology was in the vanguard of diesel traction. Most of the locomotives bought in those years came from the United States. In Spain this kind of machine belonged to the Orense depot, running mainly in Galicia and its periphery. The diesel engines transform the energy into movement thanks to an internal combustion engine. This system gives a flexible, cheap operation due to its high energetic use, superior to that of steam traction. Although the first engines date from the end of the XIX century, the use in the railway happened later, from the Second World War on.
