<space=1em>A Natural Testing Ground

<space=1em>The Leningrad — Moscow line has always occupied a special position on the domestic railway network. On the one hand, connecting two of the most important cities in the country, it has always been a kind of "calling card" of the October Railway, serving large volumes of passenger traffic. It is no coincidence that it was between Leningrad and Moscow in 1931 that the first branded train in the USSR — the "Red Arrow" — began running.

<space=1em>On the other hand, having a fairly easy track profile along almost its entire length (no steep climbs or descents) and being almost perfectly straight, this line itself seems to be specially designed for the implementation of high train speeds and therefore represents a kind of natural high-speed testing ground.

<space=1em>In the post-war period, with the introduction of diesel and soon electric traction, the maximum permissible speeds of passenger trains on the Leningrad-Moscow line gradually increased to 120 km/h in the late 1950s, later to 140 km/h, and reached 160 km/h in the early 1960s. At that time, passenger traffic on the main line was served by six-axle electric locomotives ChS2 and ChS2T made in Czechoslovakia. To further increase speeds to 200 km/h and more, it was necessary to create new, more powerful locomotives.

<space=1em>New series

<space=1em>In the mid-1970s, such locomotives were created. At the Czechoslovakian Skoda plant, then a traditional supplier of passenger electric locomotives for domestic railways, two CS200 locomotives were built in 1975 (No. 001 and 002, factory type 66E0). The creation of such powerful two-section high-speed machines had no analogues either in Soviet electric locomotive construction or in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic.

<space=1em>CS200 were eight-axle electric locomotives consisting of two four-axle sections. The number 200 in the series designation indicated the maximum permissible speed of the locomotive in operation.

<space=1em>The two sections of this electric locomotive had separate power circuits; the operating mode with a series connection of all eight traction electric motors into one circuit was not provided for by the design at all. Such a scheme was completely atypical for domestically produced DC electric locomotives with a rheostat starter.

<space=1em>Other interesting design features of the ChS200 electric locomotives include the use of four current collectors (two per section), a push-button controller on the control panel instead of the traditional drum controller with a steering wheel, and a multi-digit high-speed locomotive signaling ALSN-200.

<space=1em>Ten machines

<space=1em>After testing prototypes and making some changes to the design, the Skoda plant in 1979–1980 manufactured a batch of ten electric locomotives of the ChS200 series (No. 003–012, factory type 66Em). In terms of design, they were somewhat different from the first two machines of this series: the body was redesigned (the shape of the front part was changed; the overall length of the two-section electric locomotive was reduced by more than a meter), current collectors of a different design were installed (TSP-6M, similar to those used on the ER200), changes were made to the electrical circuits etc. All these locomotives were delivered to the Leningrad-Passazhirsky-Moskovsky depot of the October Railway.

<space=1em>Electric locomotives ChS200 No. 001 and 002, which were actually experimental models, were decommissioned in 1987. Electric locomotives ChS200 No. 003–012 continue to remain in the inventory of the October Railway to the present day, being assigned to the depot TChE-8 St. Petersburg-Passazhirsky-Moskovsky, and are used with passenger trains mainly on the line St. Petersburg - Moscow.

<space=1em>Museum exhibit

<space=1em>The electric locomotive ЧС200 002 presented in the museum arrived in 1991 from the Leningrad-Passazhirsky-Moskovsky depot of the October Railway. It is the property of the Central Museum of Railway Equipment.

Хронология: <space=1em>During the post-war period, diesel locomotive traction was introduced, and soon electric traction. And the maximum permissible speeds of passenger trains on the Leningrad-Moscow line gradually increased. In the late 1950s, they reached 120 km/h and 140 km/h, and in the early 1960s - 160 km/h. During this period, passenger traffic on the mainline was served by six-axle electric locomotives ChS2 and ChS2T of Czechoslovakian manufacture. To further increase the speed (up to 200 km/h and more), new, more powerful locomotives were required. <space=1em>In 1971, the Skoda plant manufactured a locomotive of the E469.3 series, which was the last in this series of locomotives. It received the designation E469.3030. This locomotive was equipped with bogies of a new design for speeds of 200 km/h. <space=1em>In September 1972, on the experimental railway ring in Velim, the locomotive reached a speed of 219 km/h. In June 1973, by agreement between the Skoda plant association, Mashinexport and the USSR Ministry of Railways, this locomotive was transferred for testing in the USSR. For these tests, an automatic coupling, ALSN automatic signaling equipment, a Soviet radio station and TS-1 current collectors were installed on the electric locomotive. The latter were developed by the Central Research Institute of the Ministry of Railways and manufactured by the Skoda plant. In the documentation, this locomotive was listed as type ChS-200, factory type 57Er. <space=1em>Test runs were carried out between the Belorechenskaya and Maykop stations of the North Caucasian Railway, where the maximum speed achieved was 224 km/h. The tests confirmed the good properties of the new bogies, and the locomotive was returned to the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. <space=1em>This development was used in the design of high-speed locomotives, and as a result, in 1975, two ChS200 locomotives were built (No. 001 and 002; factory type 66E0). The creation of such powerful two-section high-speed machines had no analogues either in the Soviet electric locomotive industry or in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. The total power of the eight-axle locomotive was 8,400 kW in hourly mode, and 8,000 kW in continuous mode. <space=1em>Electric locomotives ChS200 No. 001 and 002 were actually experimental models. They were written off in 1987. Electric locomotives ChS200 No. 003–012 remain in the inventory park of the October Railway today. Assigned to the TChE-8 St. Petersburg-Passazhirsky-Moskovsky depot, they are used with passenger trains on the St. Petersburg - Moscow line. Electric locomotive ChS200-008 has been converted into a high-speed track diagnostics laboratory at speeds of up to 160 km/h. For this purpose, power and traction equipment was removed from one of the sections and a diagnostics laboratory was installed. <space=1em>Electric locomotive ChS200-002 presented in the museum arrived in 1991 from the Leningrad-Passazhirsky-Moskovsky depot of the October Railway. <space=1em>It is the property of the Central Museum of Railway Transport (CMZhT).
