J Class 441 (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The J class 441 is an electric locomotive built for Yugoslav Railways. The units are now used by Hrvatske eljeznice, eljeznice Federacije Bosne i Hercegovine, eljeznice Republike Srpske, Serbian Railways, Makedonski eleznici, Turkish State Railways and Romanian Railways-CFR. This series is originally based on the license of the Swedish company ASEA. It was produced in order to be used as a universal locomotive, for both passenger and freight traffic. There was a need to have a powerful electric locomotive to pull freight. At that time, this was mainly on the mainline tracks, which were electrified, and prepared for 160 km/h. Originally, it had diode voltage selector. A later, modernised series, the 3xx subseries, include thyristor voltage selector, and an on-board computer. Later 3xx series have an onboard look-behind-camera for video surveillance of the sides and also new livery.
