Colorful One-of-A-Kind
The 1,650 horsepower class T44 freight locomotive is among the most successful locomotive designs built in the largest quantities in Scandinavia. The Swedish State Railways (SJ) had 123 units built between 1968 and 1987 at the domestic railroad builders NOHAB and KVAB. The Norwegian State Railroad (NSB) borrowed T44 units from the SJ on a regular basis. In 1993, the Norwegians bought a unit, repainted it, and designated it as Di 7 634 in their locomotive roster. Three years later this one-of-a-kind went to Malmtrafikk, which operated ore trains on the ore line out of Kiruna. Numerous T44 units have been updated in the meantime and are equipped with MTU diesel motors.
