se-sj-B_1222-norrbottens_museum-luleaa-170723-full.jpg

Swedish state railways SJ's steam locomotive class B no.1222 built by Nydqvist & Holm A.B. in Trollhättan in 1918. According to another source this locomotive has been said to have been built by Motala Verkstäder already in 1914. We don't know which data is right, but at least on the locomotive itself there's metal plate of Nydkvist & Holm with the year 1918. These were condiderd to be very good machines and several of them were kept as a strategic reserve for decades after they were taken out of daily use.

se-sj-littera_e2-norrbottens_museum-170723-full.jpg

SJ's steam locomotive class E2. This type was designed for the Norrlandsbanan route which only had lightweight rails, so that the locomotive was not allowed to weigh much. 130 of these locomotives were built 1907-1920. They were called littera E. In the 1930s 90 of them were rebuilt and they for instance received an extra axle right in front. These modified machines were then called E2.
