Vossloh G6 in Mora 2009-06-29

Is Green Cargo is looking for new switchers?

Once in a while you get to see some testing of new equipment. I guess this is in many ways one way for manufacturing firms to show off their equipment. Here a Vossloh small switcher has been tested and as usual coupled in to dynometer car and additional car for breaking.
