History

The TU8P (Russian: ТУ8П) is used for passenger transport on narrow gauge railways. The TU8P was developed in 1987 - 1988 at the Kambarka Engineering Works to replace the ageing locomotive class TU6P (Russian: ТУ6П). The TU8P was designed to be used on any gauge from to . The cab is equipped with a heat-system, refrigerator, radio-set and air conditioning.[1] The first diesel locomotive TU8P - № 0001 was delivered to the narrow gauge railway KSM-№2 with track gauge, TU8P diesel locomotive № 0007, 0008, 0056, 0057 were built with track for the Sakhalin Railway.[2] The TU8P (TY6P) motor railcar currently used on the Vietnamese railway network.[3] The diesel locomotive TU8P & series AMD-1 (Russian: АМД-1) are for railway track monitoring and inspection for the Russian railways with the track .[4] The TU8P diesel locomotive № 0003 - 0004 were built for the Uzbekistan with the track gauge .[5]
