NZR TranzMetro ET3148

Yet another locomotive. I travel on one of these most week days, so it seemed natural to add one to my collection. This is based on a photo taken at Melling, Lower Hutt, 09 September 2010.



The NZR EM/ET class electric multiple units are used on the 1500V DC electrified TranzMetro suburban services in Wellington, NZ. They were built by Ganz-Mavag, Budapest, Hungary (with the electrical components supplied by GEC traction, UK). There are 44 two-car units, each consisting of an EM class motor car and an ET class trailer car. ET3148 is paired with EM1148 and was introduced in August 1982.
