The prototype: Polish State Railways EN 57 electric multiple unit
The EN 57 is a three-car electric multiple unit that has been in service in Poland since the 1960s. Developed for local transport, it is characterized by its robust construction and reliability. With a top speed of 110 km/h and an output of 580 kW per railcar, the EN 57 was the backbone of regional passenger transport in Poland for decades.

The Polish State Railways in Era V
