Live test run
As of June 2025, the PolRegio depot in Chojnice posesses a fleet of 4 SM42 and SU42 locomotives, which are used in the summer season for regional trains on the route (Chojnice) - Gdynia - Hel. For that reason, the locomotives are regularly maintained both in the depot and in the Maxima workshops in Gdańsk.
After a minor repair in Maxima, SU42-509 came back to Chojnice at the start of June. For a test run, it was deployed on a pair of standard regio trains between Chojnice and Tczew - ROS 50712 and ROS 50783. Here it is seen leaving Starogard Gdański towards Chojnice with the latter train.
SU42-509 was produced in 1975 as SP42-139. It was modernised to the SU42 standard in the year 2000 (the steam heating was replaced by electric heaters) and it then went on to haul regional trains in many different depots in Poland.
