Renfe Class 269

The Renfe Class 269 is a class of electric locomotives operated by Renfe in Spain. They were built by CAF and Macosa under license from Mitsubishi.

After the turn of the millennium RENFE began to sell some, three even went to Chile. A large number was withdrawn around 2015 after they had been replaced by more modern and more powerful locomotives with three-phase traction motors, most notably the series 252 and 253.

Variants

Multiple variants of the Class 269 exist:

  • 269.0: 80/140 km/h freight variant
  • 269.2: 100/160 km/h variant for intermodal and passenger trains
  • 269.5: 90/160 km/h variant for intermodal and freight trains
  • 269.7: variant for intermodal trains
  • 269.9: variant used for overnight services
  • Four rebuilt locomotives with streamlined cabs for operation

Technical specifications

The locomotives are equipped with monomotor bogies, which have two gears. They use rheostatic braking.

History

The locomotives were introduced in 1973. A total of 265 locomotives have been built.

Four Class 269 locomotives were sold to Empresa de los Ferrocarriles del Estado (EFE), the Chilean national rail operator, in 2003. Further withdrawn Class 269 locomotives went on sale in 2010.
