14WE (original project names EN57/M and Halny; one unit also called EN61 mainly used for "papal train" excursion services) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) produced by Newag in Nowy Sącz, Poland. They are essentially heavily reconstructed PKP class EN57 EMU, of early-1960s vintage, reusing only their underframes.
The trainset consists of driver car (type 410B), motor car (type 309B) and driver car (410B), with four passenger doors per car (two on each side). The 14WE is designed for suburban commuter traffic, with the carrying capacity of 192 seats and (nominally) 255 standing places. It is air conditioned and can be used with platforms 760mm1060mm high.
The trainset has Scharfenberg couplers, which are standard on all Polish EMUs. They are placed at the height of 1040mm, according to an UIC recommendation, whereas the Polish practice is 950mm. This creates operational problems in cases of a breakdown.
