Description
English: Locomotora Talgo 4000T Renfe 354-001 - Año 1983 - 2225 KW (4200 CV) - 200 Km/h.

En 1983 se incorporaban a la flota de Rente las primeras locomotoras 354 de Talgo. Las nuevas máquinas, conocidas también como serie 4000T, respondían a la necesidad de remolcar los novedosos trenes Talgo Pendular con una locomotora diesel de altas prestaciones, tarea que era difícil de conseguir en aquel momento mediante tracción eléctrica, pues muchos tramos de la red estaban todavía dotados de catenarias sin compensar que no permitían altas velocidades. El diseño de las nuevas locomotoras era heredero de las 2000T y 3000T, aunque con motores diesel más potentes (4.200 CV) y nuevas transmisiones hidrodinámicas. Como novedad, disponían de conducción mediante velocidad prefijada. Con un peso inferior al de la serie precedente (80 t.), mejoraban las prestaciones en trazados sinuosos, especialmente en vías de calidad irregular. Aunque fueron construidas para remolcar en exclusiva los pendulares, fueron capaces de hacerlo con cualquier tipo de tren. Las ocho locomotoras (Renfe 354-001 a 010), fueron construidas por Krauss Maffei, y pronto modificadas para hacerlas aptas a 200 km/h, a pesar de que solo trabajaron con marchas comerciales tipo 180, y para dotarlas de lunas blindadas y aire acondicionado. Su máximo esplendor se dio en los años 90, cuando dieron servicio a las conexiones de Madrid con Cartagena, Badajoz, Burgos y A Coruña, entre otras, con gráficos muy apretados que supusieron el récord mundial en tracción diesel de kilómetros recorridos por mes en servicio comercial. En el período de 2003 a 2004 una serie de trágicos accidentes dejó la serie limitada a tres unidades, situación que se ha mantenido hasta la llegada de la serie 334 que, en el remolque de trenes ligeros, no ha podido superar en prestaciones a las veteranas Krauss-Maffei. En diciembre de 2009 las tres supervivientes fueron retiradas del servicio.

ln 1983 the Talgo 354 locomotive joined the fleet of Renfe. The new machines, also known as 4000T series, responded to the need to tow innovative Talgo Pendular train with a high performance diesel engine, a task that was difficult to get at that time by electric traction, as many parts of the rail network were still equipped with rigidly-anchored-catenary that not allow high speeds.The design of the new locomotives was heir to the 2000T and 3000T series, although with more powerful diesel engines (4,200 hp) and a new hydrodynamic transmission. A new feature was the preset speed driving. They weight less than the previous series (80 t.), and improved performance on winding routes, especially on bad quality lines. Although they were built exclusively for towing the Pendulars, were able to do it with any train.The eight locomotives (Renfe 354-001 to 010), were built by Krauss Maffei, and soon modified to make them capable to get 200 km/h -although only worked with commercial gear type 180-, and to equip them with armored lunette and air conditioning. Its heyday was in the 90's, when given service connections from Madrid to Cartagena, Badajoz, Burgos and A Coruña, among others, whit tight service graphs which represented the world record for diesel traction of kilometers traveled per month in service commercial use.ln the period from 2003 to 2004 some tragic accidents left the series limited to three units, a situation that has continued until the arrival of the 334 series that, to tow light trains, could not exceed benefits to veterans Krauss-Maffei. In December 2009 the three survivors were taken out of service.
