SP47-class consists of only two locomotives, as it was only test diesels for higher speed (up to 140 kms/h). This SP47-001 is put aside near the roundhouse in Olsztyn Depot. Probably you wonder, why you don't see any class letters or inventory numbers. First of all, neither SP47-001 nor SP47-002 works, so it has been standing here for a long time. Second, the class letters are made of aluminium, and they are very attractive to thieves. That's why the director of Olsztyn Joint Depot ordered to take off all class letters from all locomotives that aren't working Photo and scan: Jerry D.

P 47-001 diesel passenger lokomotive on Warszawa Glowna station during the exhibition of 150 years of polish trains on june 1995. A polish ingeneers built in middle 70's a very good diesel lokomotive for fast and express trains with great power and max. speed of 140 km/h. Unfortunatelly there were only built 2 of them because PKP had to buy russian heavy diesel lokomotive called "Gagarin" (ST-44) which are very uneconomical. This number is only one which is still used on PKP (depot: Poznan). Photo and scan by Pawel Kaminski <robbo@irc.pl>
