Griechische Staatsbahnen (OSE)

The Hellenic Railways Organisation (OSE) will obtain 4 new Diesel electric trains for there rack rail line in the north of the Peloponnese. The new 3 car units will replace the existing rolling stock, in operation for more than 40 years. The trains will operate on the 22.3 km long line from Diakofto, a city located at the sea side, to Kalavrita, a village in the heart of a very attractive tourist area in the mountains. The line has been built in an unusually narrow gauge standard of 750mm, overcoming the difference of altitude of 700 meters in a mixed adhesion / rack system. As a result of the ambitious conditions on the rack railway, the design of the diesel train became tailor-made and unique. Furthermore the fully air-conditioned and spaciously designed passenger compartments contribute to an optimal ride quality.
