High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The delivery of the Di 2 stretched between 1954 and 1973 in two series. Series 1 consisted of six units built by MaK in Kiel, Germany in 1954 and 1957 and two units by Thune in Oslo. All the eight first locomotives had a six-cylinder MaK engine at 423 kW. But NSB wanted more diesel-powered shunters so Bergen Diesel/Bergen Mekaniske Verksted developed a diesel engine for the purpose, type LT 6 and from 1961 Thune started delivery of the Series 2 with BMV engines with a new batch being delivered from 1973, in total 46 engines in second series. At first the Di 2 engines were painted green, but later when NSB chose to paint their entire fleet red, the Di 2 engines were also converted to red. In the...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In the 1990s the Norwegian State Railway had a need for light to medium power freight locomotives; at first the company hired DE 6400 type locomotives (see NS Class 6400) of the type used by the Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS). This led to an order of twenty similar locomotives, with features similar to the NS Class 6400 and the MaK DE 1002. including the single slightly off centre cab. The locomotives were about 3 m (9 ft 10 in) longer than their predecessors, and were powered by a more powerful Caterpillar Inc. engine (about 300 to 400 kW more powerful). Additionally the electrical transmission system was now sourced from Siemens (the locomotive factory's ultimate owner) rather than an ABB system...

The locomotives were built by AEG (motor) and Skabo (chassis). The first three locomotives were delivered to Rjukanbanen along with two smaller units, RjB 4 and 5 (which were given the designation El 6 by NSB. El 7 is exactly two El 6; it has two transformers, four motors instead of two, Bo'Bo' instead of Bo axle arrangement, two pantographs, the same speed, and could haul twice the load. The locomotives cost NOK 52,090 in 1911. Данное издание не является оригинальным....

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! he electrification of Dovrebanen in the late 1960s forced NSB to buy a more powerful universal locomotive than the El 13. Based on the Swiss Ae 6/6 and NSB El 13, both developed in the 1950s, the El 14 introduced three-axle boogies in Norway while the power was increased to 5,097 kW and the weight reduced to 105 tonnes; remaining more powerful than its successors El 16 and El 17. With the delivery of more powerful El 18 in 1996-97, the El 14s were transferred to freight service alone, with the maximum speed reduced from 120 to 100 km/h (62 mph). The only scrapping occurred in December 2005 when one hit a large pile of rocks from a landslide near Evanger, Hordaland. Данное издание...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In 1923 Ofotbanen and Malmbanan were electrified and NSB had to acquire electric locomotives to haul the trains. NSB chose to order five double-engine El 3 units and five triple-engine El 4 units for the purpose. The El 4 were built at NEBB, Thune and Hamar Jernst beri. After World War II the production of iron ore in Kiruna and Malmberget increased dramatically and the train length was increased, with the consequence that each train needed more propultion. NSB chose to order eight new El 12 locomotives at the same time it combined the ten El 3 locomotives to make three triple-engine sets with one reserve. When the El 15 locomotives were delivered in 1967 the El 3 and El 4 units were taken out...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! An electric locomotive is a locomotive powered by electricity from an external source. Sources include overhead lines, third rail, or an on-board electricity storage device such as a battery, flywheel system, or fuel cell. Electrically propelled locomotives with on-board fuelled prime movers, such as diesel engines or gas turbines, are classed as diesel-electric or gas turbine electric locomotives because the electric generator/motor combination only serves as a power transmission system .

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Swedish part of the ore line, Malmbanan, was electrified in 1915 but Norway kept using steam locomotives until the Norwegian electrification in 1923. As Norwegian traction the El 3 was chosen along with five triple-engine El 4 units. Eight El 3 were built with delivery on August 9, 1925, two more on October 19, 1929. The El 3 and El 4 had about the same characteristics and used for the same purpose and ordered simultaneously; choosing two models like this is atypical for railway companies because of higher maintenance costs.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In the 1970s NSB was faced with a challenge on the steep and wintry Bergensbanen and the El 14 was not adequate enough for the task. The solution seemed to be thyristor locomotive that had successfully been tested by ASEA and Canadian Pacific Railway with possibilities to pull 50% heavier trains than equivalent diesel electric locomotives were capable of. The Swedish Rc4 locomotives were tested on the Northeast Corridor with success and NSB also chose to try the units on Bergensbanen. The locomotives were also equipped with dynamic slip control. In 1976 NSB ordered six unites, but chose to modify the Rc4 design, including the pointed nose which is able to force through the occasional...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! After the electrification of Ofotbanen in 1923 NSB had been using El 3 and El 4 stock on the line. But in the 1960s these were getting worn out, and NSB decided that it needed to get new stock. NSB first acquired the El 12 stock parallel to the Swedish acquisition of the Dm3 locomotive. But unlike Statens Jarnvagar, NSB chose to instead buy a newer technology locomotive from ASEA, based on the Romanian CFR 040. Thus NSB managed to get the same power out of their two-engined El 15s as the Swedish got out of their three-engined Dm3s. Since the locomotives were to be operated in pairs, NSB considered only installing driver cabins on one end, but chose in the end to install them on both ends to...
