Sri Lanka Railways S14 is a class of diesel-electric multiple unit (DEMU) train sets, built for Sri Lanka Railways by CRRC Qingdao Sifang, China and financed by a Chinese sovereign loan.[1] Nine of these train sets were imported to Sri Lanka from 2019 to 2020. They possess air-conditioned first class along with second class and third class accommodations. The Class S14s were ordered to mainly operate on the Main Line from Colombo to Badulla and Kandy.[2][3]
In addition, four power cars designated as the S14A Class were also ordered for the Aruwakkalu Waste Processing Facility under the Metro Colombo Solid Waste Management Project in Puttalam. Delivery of these units began in 2020.[4]
