The Oryol service locomotive depot, owned by the company STM-Service, has successfully completed TR-2 scheduled repair work for TEM14 series shunting diesel locomotives. It includes disassembly and restoration of the main line equipment, which implies the presence of highly qualified specialists and a serious technical base.
The depot's specialists are now capable of performing the full range of TEM14 maintenance work — from TO-2 technical servicing to the most labor-intensive TR-2 scheduled repair. Previously, such work was carried out at a limited number of sites, and the expansion of competencies at the Oryol depot significantly increases the availability of high-quality service for the operators of these machines.
The success was the result of purposeful and comprehensive team preparation:
- a special personnel training program was developed and implemented, with mandatory final certification and the issuance of certificates;
- a "road map" was drawn up and fully implemented, covering the modernization of production infrastructure, the creation of the necessary process documentation, and the refinement of all technological processes;
- all required authorization documents for the right to carry out repairs of TEM14 diesel locomotives were obtained.
TEM14 is a modern eight-axle shunting diesel locomotive with two diesel engines, serial production of which has been underway since 2011 at the Lyudinovo Diesel Locomotive Plant. The machine is distinguished by high power, efficiency, and reliability, which makes it in demand at industrial and marshalling stations.
