Earliest recorded examples of an internal combustion engine for railway use included a prototype designed by William Dent Priestman<\/a>, which was examined by Sir William Thomson<\/a> in 1888 who described it as a “[Priestman oil engine] mounted upon a truck which is worked on a temporary line of rails to show the adaptation of a petroleum engine for locomotive purposes.”<\/em>.[49]<\/a><\/sup>[50]<\/a><\/sup> In 1894, a 20 hp (15 kW) two axle machine built by Priestman Brothers<\/a> was used on the Hull Docks<\/a>.[51]<\/a><\/sup>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1906, Rudolf Diesel<\/a>, Adolf Klose<\/a> and the steam and diesel engine manufacturer Gebr\u00fcder Sulzer<\/a> founded Diesel-Sulzer-Klose GmbH to manufacture diesel-powered locomotives. Sulzer had been manufacturing diesel engines since 1898. The Prussian State Railways ordered a diesel locomotive from the company in 1909. The world’s first diesel-powered locomotive was operated in the summer of 1912 on the Winterthur\u2013Romanshorn railway<\/a> in Switzerland, but was not a commercial success.[52]<\/a><\/sup> The locomotive weight was 95 tonnes and the power was 883 kW with a maximum speed of 100 km\/h.[53]<\/a><\/sup> Small numbers of prototype diesel locomotives were produced in a number of countries through the mid-1920s.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poland restored its own independence as the Second Polish Republic in 1918 from the German, Austro-Hungarian and Russian Empires. First Polish locomotive Ok22 (100 km\/h) started operating in 1923. Imported electric locomotives English Electric EL.100 (100 km\/h) were in use in Warsaw since 1936. New Polish locomotive Pm36-1 (140 km\/h) was shown at the International Exposition of Art and Technology in Modern Life in Paris in 1937. New Polish electric locomotive EP09<\/a> (160 km\/h) was designed in 1977 and started regular operation linking Warsaw and Krak\u00f3w in 1987. On 14 December 2014 PKP Intercity New Pendolino trains by Alstom under the name ‘Express Intercity Premium’ began operating on the CMK line (224 km line from Krak\u00f3w and Katowice to Warsaw) with trains reaching 200 km\/h (124 mph) as a regularly scheduled operation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
