T21.s and critters. / Nohab cab units. / T44.s and modern power.
Swedish Diesels - T43 and early hood units.
BV T43 214	The unit seem to have been based at Mora as reserve power for the pulpwood and unit container trains on the southern leg of the Inland Line. Here it is used to push new power to the line, a leased ex dane Mz 1413, date 11. Febr 2004.
IBAB T43 221	IBAB seem to roster more than one T43.s as a sister unit to now repainted and restored T43 222 is now used on MoW and timber trains on the southern portion of the line. Just as weathered as T43 222 before repaint, the unit is having a consist with of ten to twelve TGOJ cars loaded with replaced ties in Orsa 2006-06-09.
IBAB T43 222	IBAB has gone shoping for new power!:Not exactly new but still able to haul a set of gravel cars for the MoW work along the southern part of the Inland line. Photo in Orsa 1 of June 2005. See more photos of these veteran unit in Features.
IBAB T43 222	Back to the future? No, I have not restored old photos from the sixities, it is hard to believe that this is dated from 8.th of February 2006! If you ever wondered how the T43.s looked like when they were new? Quite colorful, isn't it? I have only seen the engines in more current blue and orange, but this look very nice. Compared how this unit looked like in the summer of 2005 and the currrent makes it hard to realize that it is actually same unit. Only parts that is not original, are the stanchions around the ends of the units and few things on the lettering and the safety yellow bumbe bee stripes around the stairs. T43.s are usually a bit noicy, but this time the sleak looking engine was more quiet as it rushes to north with an empty timber trains.
IBAB T43 228	A TGOJ T43 is back on duty of its former owners services as it appeares to be switcher at the large container terminal in Årsta south of Stockholm in 22. December 2007
Ex. SJ T43 232	T43.s as they phased out from SJ roster have adopted more colorful scheme. This engine now is working as a plant switcher at a huge saw mill at Insjön. The busy engine has still some time before going to work as it is about 5 o'clock in the morning. Insjön 2007-05-18
SJ T43 235	T43 235 T43.235 at the the Swedish Railwaymuseum These dieselengines built in the early 60.s replaced steamengines from mainline runs on the unelectrified lines. They are powered with a 12 cylinder EMD 567 engines. The remaining engines have been transfered to other owerships, govermental and private The Banverket, an authority in Sweden for track maintance and construction, has repainted most of their engines in a rather eye catching yellow and darkblue scheme. The other owners, as you can see below. T43 235 detailshots
BV T43 226	After the the InlandsGods was out of business, the poer of the limited lads hauled on the lines sees different power. As this BV T43 226 at Mora in 19.November 2003.
TGOJ T43 TGOJ T43 232 on rare passenger run on Inland Line 2003	SJ never went for the Nohabs, but wanted a centercab engines. So the first were 4 T 41.s that looked like a mix of NW 5 and greenhouse as a cab. T42 was a EMD G12 demostrator followed by T43.s that were the first built in numbers. The T43 was the only diesel powered by a 564 engine on SJ. If you exclude the Tc-class plowengines that were mostly used as MoW power during the summermonths. The engines were withdrawn during the late eighties and scrapped or transfered to TGOJ or Banverkets ownership. A handful was also sold to the new regional lines. The TGOJ engines are still today part of SJ and used as rentals by a number privatly owned regional lines or large industries as the this leased engine here used by Orsatåg (now merged in to Inlandgods) in summer of 1999. The TGOJ have repainted most of their engines including the engines transfered from SJ, to this modern livery of ligthgreen and darkblue. The most of the pulwood cars are a mix of beaten ex SJ cars with new markings, various leased cars and some Kbs-cars. Occationally 4-axled cars with bulkheads and some suitable cars that have been borrowed are used in a mix...
TGOJ T43 223	The pulpwood runs on Inland line are inregular consiting mostly of a single T43 and 10-15 cars of different orgins abd types, T43 223 was parked with empty pulpwood cars in west end of Mora yard.
TGOJ T43 and TMY 106	It is not only TMX or TMY on IBAB, a number of T43.s are leased to fill up the roster. In 16.th of march the unit train was hauled by GN painted TKAB 106 and TGOJ T43. I guess this was the last time this season seing the GN painted unit. As it was switched over to the southbound hauled by a green Ma. In joined forces they left Mora, while the T43 was enough power to haul a hand ful empties to Sveg.
CQC T43 250	A repainted and privately owned T43 250 leased to InlandGods is waiting to run light back to Östersund after a delivry of timber to the large saw mill at Mora Noret. Though InlandGods does hav a number of units of their own nowadays, it still have to rely on leased unite once in a while. Mora 20070514.
BK TÅG T43 252	The BK-tåg have repainted their T43.s in their torquise and bluescheme, and they are seen sometimes in Mora on service on Inland-Gods with IBAB.s TMX engines. But here one of them is seen on rock train from Älvdalen. The T43 has hauled the train to Mora where a TGOJ Ma is added to haul the train further southbound.
BK TÅG T43 254	The BK units are not a common sight in Mora and actually this is first time since seeing T43 252 in 1990.s that a BK T43 is in the area. Its mission was a bit odd, as the yard was host for a Connx passanger unit and the venerable diesel hauled a set of Italian bulkwood flats to the yard. date and place Mora 8.th of May 2005.
BV T43	To add more color, Banverket which handles the MoW duties of all national net, undepending on wheter it is a national or private operator has repainted their units in various yellow schemes. The most common on T43.s is this but there are at least on in very day glow yellow and grey.
BV T43	The BV.s diesel do not only haul gravel, or contruction equipment. The power hungry Inland Line occationally leases a unit or two during the winter to handle the trains. Such was the case with this run, The 40 year old unit hauled a unit log train to Mora on 12. January 2004. The winter of 2004 so far have been busy with log harvesting, as the the number of log and pulpwood trains has increased to three separate daily unit trains.
