[edit] History
ET41 is a modification of the EU07 locomotive, and was designed for the purpose of heavy transport. It is made of two connected bodies of EU07.
[edit] Introduction
The design for this machine was ready in 1976. Basically it consists of two EU07 locomotives but with two driver's cabs removed. Two locos are semi-permanently coupled in multiple operation. Because of this, the current collection must be done independently for each section.
[edit] Production
Production started in 1977 and continued until 1983. A total number of 200 machines were produced.
[edit] Trivia
For some time number 100 carried a special white-red livery and was used on the special PZPR (Polish communist party) trains.

[edit] Present day
ET41 are mainly used for coal transport from Upper Silesia to main harbours like Gdynia and Szczecin. Seldom are those locomotives used for hauling passenger trains.
