Series 2042 is a diesel locomotive series on
Croatian Railways (
Croatian: hrvatske željeznice, HŽ).
This series is not substantively different from the
series 2041, except that they have a stronger engine. With the upgrade in motor, this locomotives changed the traction behavior. These are four-axle locomotives with every axle separately powered. This series is built for hauling of lighter freight trains and for heavy maneuvering.
