The TEP80 (ТЭП80) is a Soviet diesel locomotive produced in 1988–1989. Only two locomotives were built.
History and design
The principal designer was V. Khlebnikov; the locomotive utilised an 8-axle articulated design within a single locomotive body, two sets of main bogies each of four axles articulated in a Bo-Bo arrangement.
It is claimed that Unit TEP80-0002 holds the world speed record for a diesel railed vehicle having reached {{convert|271|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} on 5 October 1993.{{citation| url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwYXjxXFha0| title = Рекордные испытания ТЭП80-0002 05.10.1993.TEP80 world speed record 271 km/h| work = YouTube| date = 5 October 1993|language = russian| accessdate = 3 February 2014}} This record has not been verified by any independent witness. In 2007, the machine was transferred from the Russian Railway research institute (VNIIZhT) to the October railway museum (Музей Октябрьской железной дороги) in Saint Petersburg.{{citation| url =http://www.railway-museum.ru/gallery/2.html?setcookies=yes#/lightbox/gallery/photo/16| title =Passenger locomotive TEP80-0002| accessdate =3 February 2014| work =October Railway Museum| archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20140220041404/http://www.railway-museum.ru/gallery/2.html?setcookies=yes#/lightbox/gallery/photo/16| archive-date =20 February 2014| url-status =dead| df =dmy-all}}
