The Renfe Class 321 (formerly 2100 series) is a class of

diesel-electric locomotives operated by Renfe in Spain, designed by Alco and built by them and by Euskalduna
under licence.

Technical specifications

The locomotives have a

Co-Co wheel arrangement, and are equipped with GEC 5G-761 engines.[2]

History

Production started in 1965. A total of 80 locomotives were built until 1971,

Alco, and the remaining 72 by Euskalduna.[4] Four locomotives were rebuilt for Teco de Media Distancia freight service trials.[2]

Regular services with Renfe have ended, and some locomotives are used by

Adif to haul maintenance trains.[4]
