SJ Rc3 1051
|
In the last rays of light of the beautyful but early summer day of 8. May 2004, the Rc 3 1051 sports a new feature.
The train travel has been awarded to wear the Enviromental Choise logo on the engines just under the doorless side of the cabs. |
SJ Rc3 1051
|
A rather unusual find, a SJ Rc3 1051, in my favorite train wathcing site, Dombås Norway and running freight... The story is even more interestimng as it is a second unit on a freight lead by a MaK owned ex NSB Di6. The trains are cut in two and the electric will head the most of the consist over the Dovre mountain to Trondheim, while the mighty diesel has a few cars of few containers and automobiles to Åndalsnes. Dombås 2009-06-15. |
SJ Rc3 1052
|
A battle weary Rc3 1052 is sitting as a reserve power at Falun. Many of the engines have been repainted in the current black scheme and I guess this unit will be next in line, i f not it is to be withdrawn in favour for another set of EMU.s. Falun, 2009-09-12. |
SJ Rc3 1056

Once very common on the line to Mora but in 2007 a rare bird, Rc3 1053 in Mora.

Late winter pics on Rc3 1056 with consist about to leave for Stockholm in 3. March 2003.
The last image is from the following summer as a T44 is used to turn the engine to opposing end for the return run.
This type of switching is usual during the weekends when the return run is on a next day.

|
Just a hour before a snowstorm in 17. January 2004, the Rc3 1058 sits at the track one in Mora with a typical IC trainset. |
SJ Rc3 1057
|
In 2010 Rc3 1057 is one of the units that has received the new glossy black tuxido paint. But today it is on less respectable duty of hauling as a lease unit a load of timber for the operator Tågkraft. The unit seemed to developed some bugs as it sat on this track for days before being rescued by a sister unit and hauled back south with load of timbers. Mora 2010-03-11. |
 SJ Rc3 1059
|
In the first of April 2003 the Rc3 1059 just arrived to Stockholm Central with a IC-train from Dalecarlia. |
SJ Rc3 1059
SJ Rc3 1059 & GC Rc2 1103
|
There is something wrong here, A Rc with a IBAB freight and by second glance it is a SJ passanger unit , not a Green Gargo unit. In 2005 the elderly Rc3.s are a bit unusual on Dalecarlian main line. As IBAB.s own Ma was not available Sj leased a surplus? unit to haul this heavy train. |

Now adays in 2006, to see a Rc3 is a rare sighting, but here one unit Rc3 1057 is located in Falun in 23.th of March 2006. |

|
SJ Rc3 1064 |
The Rc3.s which is the samllest groups of Rc.s except for the Rm class, are very rare on the Dalecarlian services, still I spotted this staying the night in Mora. Mora 2009-04-12. |

Rc3 1066 in Mora at the first day of February of the year 2004. This day was perfect lit day for taking pictures.
