Overview of the NOHAB T46

Discover the T46 diesel locomotive, a powerful workhorse originally built by NOHAB in 1973-1974 for demanding mining operations.

This robust Co'Co' type locomotive operates on a 1435 mm gauge and underwent refurbishment by STT between 2007 and 2008, ensuring continued reliability in service.

Boasting a top speed of 100 km/h and a significant tractive effort of 310 kN, the T46 is equipped with an EMD 12-645E prime mover, delivering 1235 kW of power.

Primarily employed by LKAB/Malmtrafik i Kiruna AB in Sweden, the T46 is a testament to enduring engineering, weighing 150 tonnes and measuring 18.64 meters in length.
