1260 and 1307- Green Cargo, Sweden |
Description: |
1260: The Rm class is a rather rare species of the Rc-family, six units were built only. The locomotives were built by ASEA in 1977. The difference is smaller wheels giving higher pulling force, but lower maximum speed. They were used in triple-unit configuration on Malmbanan as supplements to Dm3-units, but later moved to other parts of the Swedish rail network after the transport needs on Malmbanan were reduced. When originally used to haul iron ore they were ballasted, fitted with SA3 couplings and additional set of brakes, but all these modifications were removed when the locomotives were put in ordinary freight operation. In the 1990s they were repainted from orange to blue. |

1037 - Green Cargo, Sweden |
Description: |
This locomotive had a unique accident in Hallsberg 2002: The loc driver parked a 1258 t freight consist at the yard, decoubled and moved to his parking position. The installed brakebar could not keep the train in place on a steep part of the yard. The train soon became a runaway train and followed the loc over 2.5 km / 1.5 miles. The driver saw what happens and tried to brake the train down with his engine, but he had no chance against the over 1200 t. So he jumped off, just before his Rc2 with the full load behind crashed into 5 other, parked Rc units with 44 kph / 27.5 mph. His cabin, opposite site in photo, was fully smashed in. Luckely he was out and unhurt. Accident cost was about $ 13 Mio. and it took two weeks to clear the site. 2004 was the damaged locomotive in Örebro, still awaiting its final fate and it seems, for parting out by TABAG, came finally to Kristinehamn. Maybe, now you can buy the remaining pieces as your next garden shelter. More info about the accident in english: search for " www.havkom.se/.../news/rj2003_01eSummary.pdf ", or detailed in Swedish " www.havkom.se/virtupload/news/rj2003_01.pdf ". |

1436 - Green Cargo, Sweden |
Description: |
OPEN ACCESS ON SWEDISH TRACKS: With liberalisation of Swedish railway systems, the cargo division was seperated from the SJ operation. Ever since, Green Cargo transformed his business and devested logistic and other operation. Labor force was reduced within the last two years by 1000 persons down to 2000. To open new intermodal lines to Germany, it invested in 2010 in 16 TRAXX F140 AC2. In the last three years the still state owned company lost almost $ 1 billion ! |
