TEM1 () was a Soviet diesel-electric locomotive, produced between 1958 and 1968 at the Bryansk Machinery Plant (BMZ).
==History== The locomotive can be seen as a descendant of the DA units imported under Lend-Lease during World War II; TEM1 units were produced between 1958 and 1968 as the evolution of the DA units (which were American Alco RS-1 designs). Nearly 2000 TEM1 units were built in as a "serious attempt at ending steam shunting" The units had an improved 2D50 turbocharged diesel engine, derived from the TE3 locomotive.
