The 5600 locomotives predate the EuroSprinter family of modular locomotives built by Siemens for European railway companies, but have much in common with the later machines. Externally the locomotives are identical to Spain's Class 252 which were built at the same time, albeit without DC capability.[1]
Of the 30 locomotives that were originally bought, 5624 was severely damaged in an accident in 2003,[2] and 5613 was also damaged in the Alfarelos train crash.[3]
