  • On Tuesday the 14th of March, 2017, a passenger train from somewhere further West arrives in the city of Camagüey, Cuba. The train engine, 81008, and baggage van are then detached and shunted around by 52580 as the daily bustle of Cuban life goes on around them.
    52580 is a DF7G-C built by China North Locomotive and Rolling Stock Industry (Group) Corporation at their Beijing February 7 Locomotive Works in the mid to late 2000s.
    81008 is a ТЭМ15 built in 1990 by the Bryansk Machine-Building Plant, in what was then the Soviet Union. Judging by photos I've found online, 81008's short hood was lowered sometime after 1999. According to CZcams user Oscar Jalice, it has also been re-engined with the prime mover out of an EMD G8, which would certainly fit its EMD-like sound, and appears to be a regular on Ciego de Ávila to Camagüey passenger trains in 2017.

    TEM 15 had never built in Lugansk (Luhansk, Voroshilovgrad) but in Bryansk Locomotive Factory (USSR, then Russia) from 1987 till 1995, at the first for Cuba, at the second for Russian industrial enterprises.

      Thanks, Alexey! I have now changed my caption to reflect this.
      When I uploaded this video, I struggled to find information about ТЭМ15Кs online. I could find almost no information about them in English, my Spanish is very bad and I know almost no Russian. The sources that I did find and was able to understand/translate often contradicted each other too. However, your comment prompted me to do more searching, and I have now found a photo of 81008's builder's plate that confirms that it was built by БМЗ in 1990.

    How did Cuba get those ge gp engines

      Although the GE inspiration of the design is clear (I'm guessing a fair bit of reverse engineering would have contributed to the them), but the DF7Gs, as shown in this video, are actually Chinese designed and built.
      Cuba does have a small number of genuine GE C30-7s, which were bought second-hand from Mexico.

      The GM is from 1955 two stroke engine, Cuba was buying all steam and diesel engines to USA before 1959, from 60's on Russia was the main engine supplier

    Pity the old city´s restoration seems to be paralyzed. At least they got some things done. Still, like the rest of Cuba, a disaster.
