Welcome to the Swedish diesel locomotives page! Below you will find many types in use, also some rare ones, and given some time also their technical details. There is also a page for the Swedish electric locomotives as well as a Swedish Multiple Units Page.

 Heavy Duty Switchers

 Td number 416 of Green Cargo    

The class Td locomotives for the Green Cargo (part of the SJ) are rebuilt from the T44 locomotives by Bombardier. As with any diesel locomotive, many T44s were finally worn out and in the need to total rebuilding. Bombardier is rebuilding the units throughoutly, strengthening their structure and applying computerized controls. Probably the easiest way to distingguish between the two models is the running light, see the difference above and below. Once you start looking there is a great number of smaller and larger differences, including the large smoke stack on the rebuilt units longer hood. As with any rebuilding programs, there has been extra work found for Bombardier.
