Hector Rail buys eight Rc locos from SJ
Hector Rail has systematically expanded its loco fleet since it was founded 10 years ago. The strategy has been to offer its customers the most optimal resource for their traction needs. Hector Rail’s fleet includes powerful six axle locos previously used for iron ore transport, Sweden’s fastest locos designed for speeds of up to 230 km/h and specially equipped locos for seamless international transports between Sweden and Germany through Denmark.
Hector Rail has grown every year since the start and currently needs to further increase its fleet. SJ’s Rc3 locos became an attractive solution to satisfy this need.
The Rc locos are well established in the Swedish market. There is good supply of maintenance and operational resources. Within Hector Rail, these locos will become type 143.
