| Originally the 1005 was built for coal, but like some of her sisters she was burning birch logs most of the year 1945 after the war. At that time her slim coal chimney was replaced by the fat log chimney. But the 1005 was the only Hr1 class locomotive that was ever altered for burning oil. For a while oil price was low when compared to coal. So the 1005 was burning oil for two years from february 1948 to february 1950. The 1005 was involved in the Kuurila crash in 1957: The 1005 was pulling the P64 express from north to Helsinki. Between Kuurila and Iittala she hit the north bound MP41 express hauled by a Dm4 diesel motor car. The delicate motor car was splattered into splinters and 28 people were killed and 19 injured. The 1005 suffered considerably less damage. She was put back on the track and taken to Hyvinkää for reparation. |
