Old pictures

[index]

My pictures were taken in the 1978 - 1993 period. From 1978 I observed three locomotives with number 3, 4 and 5. In the next I present  a few picture before 1978. On these pictures the locomotives have different numbers. The locomotives can be identified by shape. On these pictures appears another two locomotives.

The picture below was taken in 1973 in front of the vinegar factory. On the picture appears the loc nr. 1 and nr. 5 used in a pair. The loc nr. 1 can be identified with the loc nr. 4 in new numbering. The loc nr. 5 with box-cab shape didn't appear after 1978 so I didn't see that loc.

The loc nr. 5 (in old numbering) appears on a picture taken in 1956 on the approach track of the vinegar factory. On this picture on the locomotive didn't appear any number but I don't think likely that it's a different loc. I have no information about this loc, but I think, that this loc came here in the 50's (in 1946 on the inventory were only four locomotives).

On the next picture from 1965 appears the loc nr. 2 (in old numbering) on the track leading to "Őssi" railway station. In the back of the wagons appears an old Siemens tram. This section of the track was common with the tram line too like at the "Kolozsvári" street. The loc can be identified with the loc nr. 5 in new numbering by the shape. Only the speed regulating boxes on the roof are different but they were changed more times on each locomotive.

On the next picture taken in 1973 appears the loc nr. 4 (in old numbering) on the "Kolozsvári" street. It's possible that this loc was the same with the loc with 8 wheels built here near 1942 (?). It's possible that the loc was rebuilt to 4 wheel rail running. I have no information about this loc after 1978 so I didn't see this locomotive.

On the next picture taken in the 50's appears the loc nr. 4 too in front of the beer factory. On this picture there's no number on the loc but I don't think likely that it's a different loc than the 4.

The picture below was from the beginning of the XXth century, it's from 1906 or

The next scheme is about the loc nr. 4 with 8 wheels. The cab is similar with the loc on the pictures from above. This electric locomotive was built locally on the basis of the road and rail running gear of a World War I heavy artillery gun (M16 Elektro-Fahrgestell) with 8 wheels and 8 electro-motors. The construction was without success.

1907. On the picture appears one of the loc nr. 4 or 5 (in new numbering) in front of the power station. So the two locomotives bought in 1906 have to be the nr. 4 and the nr. 5 (in new numbering).

On the picture below appears a locomotive made by Ganz in 1900. This loc was brought here in 1942 and taken to Debrecen in 1943. The loc had the number 5 (NVV5).
