The world's most modern terminal locomotive pulls heavier loads in Kiruna
When LKAB increases load weights for its ore trains by about 60 per cent, the upshot is that more powerful locomotives are needed at the terminals. The T46 locomotives currently used for terminal shunting and loading and unloading of ore and additives do not meet the new requirements. Instead of buying new, however, EuroMaint Rail has been entrusted to carry out a complete refurbishment.
