WayStar Group Successfully Delivered a TEM2 Shunting Locomotive Project Tailored to a Client's Operational Needs
WayStar Group successfully completed a comprehensive project involving
the selection, inspection, and delivery of a TEM2 series shunting
locomotive for an industrial enterprise.
The project was initiated at the request of a key partner who,
while handling more than 40 railcars per day, faced the economic
inefficiency of leasing locomotives. As a result, the decision was
made to purchase a dedicated locomotive for long-term operation.
Within a short period, WayStar Group specialists organized a search
for suitable options across the CIS market. The optimal solution was
identified in Kostanay, Kazakhstan. During the first week, a complete
inspection process was carried out, including an independent technical
assessment, an on-site specialist visit, photo and video verification,
and a review of all technical documentation.
The evaluation confirmed the locomotive's reliability, successful
completion of major overhaul works, and sufficient remaining service
life. Following client approval, WayStar Group purchased the equipment
and arranged mandatory rheostatic testing, which successfully verified
compliance with all operational requirements.
The locomotive was then transported from Kostanay station to Semey
station under full supervision throughout the transportation process
and subsequently delivered to the customer's production facility.
Today, the locomotive is fully operational and performs shunting
activities on a regular basis. This has enabled the client to eliminate
leasing expenses, reduce operating costs, and improve the efficiency
of internal logistics operations.
This project serves as a clear example of WayStar Group's integrated
approach — from sourcing and technical evaluation to delivery and
commissioning — with a strong focus on rapid implementation and risk
reduction for the customer.
