One of the most supricing things, a NSB Bm73 in MOra! The paint sceheme is at least for me and it is suprising to see a flag ship of NSB sitting at a flagstop of Morastrand. If this the new paint for Bm73.s it does a great job to make these sleak train sets to look more exclusive. 2008-04-08 Mora. |
NSB Bm 73.008 |
The top of the bill of NSB passanger runs are the Signature runs, with the very sleak BM 73 trainsets. Yes, I did say sleak as they look like been ready to lauched to space while standing still.

NSB Bm 73.010 |
Most of the Signatur runs I saw in late summer of 2004 featured a single Bm 73 four unit trainsets. One of the units kept busy was Bm.73.010 which I saw in Dombås in the veryu last day of August. The unit was also cught the following day at track 2 in Trondheim. So far the rather futuristic looking unit with their matching paint scheme are in very good shape compared to some of SJ X2000 units. Bur one thing that is certain is the fact the rail business in Norway and also in rest of the Scandinavia is slow and this is also witnessed by the rather thin timetable of the NSB rail services. |
NSB Bm 73.010 |
In 2005 the sleak Bm73.s are hauling most of the Signature runs on the Dovre line. The units are will get some respectable amount of milage as seen on this set of images of Bm 73.010. First it is caught as it is slows for the final stop for the day at the busy station of Trondheim on the 5th of June, next day it is caught at Oppdal north of the Dovre mountains seen in the background in 6th of June 2005, two days later the same trainset rolls to the main track of Hamar from Oslo and it will head out to Trondheim before calling the day. |

NSB Bm 73.011. |
A south bound Regional train as the all long and medium distant trains are called in 2009, with a single Bm 73 trainset is stopping at Otta. Still there are quite a few Bm73.s in their original Signature paint scheme. Right now there are three paint schemes on these handsome trains. This purple, an earlier red, where the purple is replaced by red and the new red and silver with orange graphics. Otta 2009-06-15. |

NSB Bm 73.113. |
It is about noon in Dombås and the tourist season is just a week away and this quiet exchange of passangers will be a thing of the past. The Signature train is Bm 73.014 which is getting readdy to tack on the last remaining grade to the pass at Hjerkinn before drifting down to Oppdal and from there the tripp. to Trondheim will be easy. While the Diesel train will load for a handful passengers to Åndalsnes. I guess two train sets are to be needed for this run the following week. Dombås 2008-06-24 |
