I Thought I Saw an F Unit
Author: YukonYeti

"I Thought I Saw an F Unit"  Well,pretty close....  Whle chasing the electrics on Sweden's Malmbanan and Norway's Oftotbanan, In Kiruna, Sweden, I happened across this European style F unit being operated by Svensk Tagkraft, a private maintainance of way company. It is interesting, the nose logos include the old GM shield...   Kiruna, Sweden September 1, 2018.

In a cave, under a glacier...looking for trolls.

Ex NSB Di3 class? N&H also built the same design for Denmark's DSB and Hungary's MAV.

They were built with GM 567s in them - not sure what's still in them today.  Kosovo Railways has some also secondhand.

I found this one in Hallsberg, Sweden, 10/12/07.  At that time it was working as the back up engine on the rear of a log train.  Enjoy the Malmbannan.  Gerry

I bet these are former Danish State Railway MX class locomotives.  Here's a picture of DSB 1032 at the Esbjerg roundhouse in February 1987.
