The story about the M62, known as "Szergej" in Hungary, began in 1965 with the delivery of the world's first locomotive, M62 001, from Lugansk. A further 288 locomotives were still delivered to MAV, 15 of them were large gauge versions. These locomotives took over heavy goods transport, leading to the early withdrawal of older steam locomotive types. Remarkably, some of these robust locomotives are still in service today.
