Yes. They’re saying that it’s an example of a diesel locomotive, despite the picture suggesting it may be electric only.

- kube-system 3y agoI translated the polish language page it is on and it sounds like it is diesel with a mechanical drive.
- hawski 3y agoIf I understand correctly those are just somewhat cheaper per unit and some of them do run on lines that are not electrified. So it happens that a diesel train runs entirely (or often partially) on electrified lines like in the photo I gave. I said "diesel" as a mental shortcut for diesel and diesel-electric, but certainly not for electro-diesel.
