The Renfe Class 269 is a class of electric locomotives operated by Renfe in Spain. They were built by CAF and Macosa under license from Mitsubishi.[2]
After the turn of the millennium RENFE began to sell some, three even went to Chile. A large number was withdrawn around 2015 after they had been replaced by more modern and more powerful locomotives with three-phase traction motors, most notably the series 252 and 253.
Multiple variants of the Class 269 exist:[3]
The locomotives are equipped with monomotor bogies, which have two gears.[3] They use rheostatic braking.[2]
The locomotives were introduced in 1973. A total of 265 locomotives have been built.[2]
Four Class 269 locomotives were sold to Empresa de los Ferrocarriles del Estado (EFE), the Chilean national rail operator, in 2003.[4] Further withdrawn Class 269 locomotives went on sale in 2010.[5]
