Düwag Wadloper is a family of diesel railcars (type DH1, Polish SN82 series) and diesel multiple units (type DH2, Polish SN83 series) produced by the German Düwag plant in Düsseldorf. Between 1981 and 1983, a total of 50 vehicles of this kind were built specifically for the Dutch Nederlandse Spoorwegen railroad. At the beginning of the 21st century, they were mainly operated by private carriers; in 2006 they began to be phased out, and in 2008 they were sold to other countries. The trains went to carriers from Poland, Argentina and Romania. They were operated by Przewozy Regionalne, Masovian Railways and Koleje Śląskie, and also used by Trenes de Buenos Aires to operate a cross-border service between Argentina and Uruguay. They currently operate services connecting Argentina with Paraguay, and are operated in Poland by SKPL Cargo (mainly in the Subcarpathian Voivodeship), as well as on several lines in Romania.
