Description

Locomotora 278-007 RENFE 7807 Año 1954 - 2200 KW - 110 Km/h.

Español: El origen de las 7800 se encuentra en el plan de electrificación de los años cincuenta. Para esta segunda generación de locomotoras eléctricas se encargaron series similares a distintos fabricantes: franceses (serie 7600), británicos (7700) y estadounidenses (7800). La 7800 tenía la particularidad, inédita en España hasta los años ochenta, de un rodaje de seis ejes en tres grupos de bogies. Fue destinada inicialmente al depósito de León pero, al concluirse las electrificaciones en Cataluña a finales de los cincuenta, fueron trasladadas aquí. A medida que se recibían nuevas unidades 7600, las 7800 fueron enviadas a la reserva de Córdoba, para la línea de Madrid-Andalucía, según avanzaba su electrificación. Hasta el comienzo de los setenta remolcaron toda clase de trenes y, desde entonces se dedicaron al remolque de mercancías. Fueron reformadas en 1986, siguiendo en servicio hasta 1992. En el año 2016 el Museo ha rehabilitado su parte exterior y la ha pintado con sus colores originales.
English: The origin of the 7800 locomotives lies on the 50’s electrification plan. They are the second generation of electric locomotives. Similar series were ordered to different manufacturers: French -7600-, British -7700- and American -7800-, One of the 7800 special features was its wheels arrangement (unheard-of in Spain till the 80’s): six axles on three groups of bogies. Its first destination was the León depot but they came here at the end of the 50’s, when the electrification in Catalonia ended. As new 7600 units arrived, the 7800 were progressively sent to the Córdoba reserve for the Madrid-Andalucía line. Originally the company bought 20 locomotives and nine more in 1958, thanks to the American help. In 1963 the whole series was moved to Alcázar de San Juan. They towed all kind of trains until the beginning of the 60’s and, since then, goods trains. They were renovated in 1986 and continued working till 1992. In 2016 the Museum commissioned a restoration of the vehicle body which has been painted in its original colours.
