Remarks & Notes

Inspired for the appearance from North America, with round shapes and a bulldog nose, this electric 4 axle express train locomotive was built by ASEA in 1955 for the swedish Statens Järnvägar (SJ), together with sister Ra # 847. In 1961 another 8 Ra # 987-994 were delivered. 2640 kW and capable for 150 km/h, but in regular service with express trains between Stockholm and Gothenburg and Malmö with 130 km/h till the late 1980'. Ra # 846 is in the original paint scheme of the 1950' and operational for the Swedish Railway Museum. She is running light from Gävle via Storvik to Avesta Krylbo, to pull the "City Express" from there to Stockholm in the evening, this on the occasion of 100 years railway electrification in Sweden.
