Self-propelled track measuring laboratory car SPL-ChS200
on the basis of locomotive ChS200-008
SPL-СhS200 ensures automated inspection of railway track condition (track geometry, longitudinal profile, rails and rail running surface inclination, rail head wear, equivalent conicity, corrugation) at the operating speed up to 200 km/h with a higher axial load of 19.5 tons.

This is a joint project of JSC Russian Railways and JSC RPC INFOTRANS.

It is additionally equipped with a system of catenary inspection to monitor the interaction between the pantograph and the contact wire.

SPL-ChS200 is the fastest diagnostic vehicle on the Space 1520 railway network and has no analogues.
service module;
automated information measuring system;
crew life support systems (heating, air conditioning, bathroom);
additional electrical equipment for power supply of the automated information measuring system and life support systems of the diagnostic section.
The locomotive equipment has been dismantled in one of its 2 sections and the following hardware has been installed there:
The laboratory car can be operated at any time of the year in the ambient temperature range from -40 to +55 °C.
