The Renfe Class 250 was a class of electric locomotives operated by Renfe in Spain, built by Krauss Maffei and CAF, with Brown, Boveri electrical equipment.[1] They operated between 1982 and 2010.
The fleet consisted of 35 Class 250 locomotives, numbered 250 001 - 035, and five Class 250.6 locomotives, numbered 250 601 - 605, which are equipped with chopper control.[2]
The locomotives have a C'C' UIC wheel arrangement,[3] and are equipped with monomotor bogies, which have switchable gear ratios.[2] Their maximum axle load is 22 tonnes.[1]
The locomotives were introduced in 1982. A total of 40 locomotives have been built. They were mainly used on freight services by Renfe's Cargas freight and Transporte Combinado intermodal divisions.[2] They were withdrawn in 2010.[4]
