Heavy
Duty Switchers
T44 number 321 of Green Cargo  The T44s of the SJ owned Green Cargo can be found on most any serious switching work in Sweden. With its power and remote control abilities moving cars around rail yards is easy and effcient for this heavy switcher. The unit 321 is seen here at Värtahamnen in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. The T44 visits the harbor in the morning to move the cars for the Rc electric engine to take them a little further to the classification yeard. Picture by John McKey 2007. Technical details for class T44 -> Type: T44 -> Builder: Kalmar Verkstad and Nohab -> Operators: Green Cargo of Sweden, TGOJ, MTAS, MTAB, Israel Railways -> Usage: switching work and multipurpose locomotive -> Production dates: 1968 - 1987 -> Numbers built: 123, there is a rebuilding program for the type rebuilt units will become class Td. -> Seen: the Swedish networks on serious switching work and some freight operations.

As you can see, it can be quite chilly in the north even during the summer. A few hundred kilometers north, a new mine will be openedduring the next couple of years. Although situated in Sweden, the ore is rumored to be hauled down from the hills to the seaside on the Finnish side.  T43 number 246 of Green Cargo  The T43 of the SJ owned Green Cargo at Västra yard in Stockholm Sweden. Technical details for T43 Type: T43 Usage: local switching work Builder: Nohab Production dates: 1961 - 1963 Numbers built: 50 Users: Banverket, Green Cargo, STT, TGOJ, TXL Logistik, Tågab (the U.S. Great Northern painted) Seen: Around the Swedish networks on switching work Energy Source: Diesel fuel Engine: EMD 567D1-12 (12 cylinder 567 series 2 stroke) Power output: 1065kW (1448 Hp) Transmission: electric Generator: Asea LJD138 Motors: Asea LJB 76 Tractive Effort: 210 kN Braking effort on traction motors (dynamic braking): na Wheel arrangement: Bo'Bo' Wheel diameter: 1030 mm as new Maximum operational speed where possible: 90 km/h (56 Mph) Length: 14,2 m Heigth: Width: Weight: 72 metric tons ( lb) Road Locomotives T68 / Euro 4000 number 901 of Railcare  T68/Euro4000 is a rare sight in Sweden, but maybe more common in the future. The loading gauge of Sweden allows the use of the latest design from the Spain, where this state of the art locomotive type is used in daily traffic to haul heavy intermodal freight trains. The Euro 4000 is also an interesting design for the builder Vossloh. All the other locomotive lines are diesel-hydraulic. Most of the diesel-hydraulic locos will be long gone when this diersel-electric unit 901 is still at work 50 years from now. Look at the types Td, T44, TMY, TMX, all diesel-electric, old, and still well at work!

TMYM number 1111 of Svensk Tågkraft  The resemblance of this TMYM with the American F-unit design in no coincidence. Nohab in Sweden built the units based on the proven American technologies. Although many have been rebuilt with different prime movers, the original attractive design, track motors, etc. just keep going year after year. Here a Svensk Tågkraft AB (STAB) TMYM number 1111 poses with a new paint and a new Cummins prime mover in Solna Sweden. The people around the locomotive were sad about the loss of the 567 sound.
