The B class of the Swedish State Railways (SJ) was a type of steam locomotive for mixed traffic, introduced in 1909. 96 locomotives were built for SJ by between 1909 and 1919. The 4-6-0 B class was part of the development of modern superheated locomotives that had begun with the A class in 1906. Intended for fast freight trains and heavy stopping passenger trains, they proved to be highly useful in all types of traffic, and remained in use until the end of steam operations in Sweden.
Eleven B class locomotives were sold to private railways during the 1930s, but all but one returned to SJ after the railway companies had been nationalized in the 1940s. One of the private operators, Stockholm–Västerås–Bergslagens Järnväg, had three more locomotives of the same type built, the last one in 1944. Most B class locomotives were eventually rebuilt with fully enclosed cabs, and some were equipped for oil-firing after the Second World War.
When the locomotives became unnecessary in the daily traffic they were placed in the strategic reserve. Some locomotives from the reserve were reactivated during the winter of 1965–1966 due to a temporary shortage of electric locomotives. Most survived into the 1990s, and several have been preserved by the Swedish Railway Museum and preservation societies in Sweden, while sales to heritage railways abroad failed to reach the expected numbers.
The B class mixed-traffic locomotives were part of the development of modern superheated locomotives that had begun with the A class in 1906 and the E class in 1907. [1] : 16 The B class had bar frames, like the A class, [3] : 18 and the leading bogie was based on that of the A class. [1] : 16 Intended for fast freight trains and heavy passenger trains, the locomotives had six 1,750-millimetre (5 ft 9 in) driving wheels [4] and large outside cylinders, giving a 50% larger starting tractive effort than for the A class. [5] They were capable of doing 90 kilometres per hour (56 mph) on flat ground and 50 km/h (31 mph) on long 1 in 100 gradients. [3] : 10
The B class shared some characteristics with another 4-6-0 mixed-traffic locomotive, the Prussian P 8 class, [2] : 76 and several sources state that they were based on the P 8, [1] : 16 [4] [6] but another author describes them as "Swedish throughout". [2] : 76
A new type of boiler was designed for the B class; it was also used for the Gb class, and became known as the BGb type. [2] : 106 Some other kinds of locomotives were later rebuilt with this type of boiler, creating the A2, [1] : 37 Ga2, [1] : 80 Ga4 [1] : 82 and Mc [1] : 85 classes. The boiler was given a high position. [2] : 76
96 locomotives were built for SJ by Motala Verkstad, NOHAB and Vagn och Maskinfabriken Falun between 1909 and 1919; [1] : 268–274 three more were built later for a private railway company. [2] : 76 A very successful design, [2] : 76 the B class turned out to be highly useful for all types of traffic. [1] : 45 They were frequently used in heavy express trains, in addition to the intended passenger and freight train services. [3] : 10
Nevertheless, mainline electrification meant that the need for steam locomotives declined in the 1930s, [1] : 17 making it possible to sell some B class locomotives to private railways, [2] : 76 while some others were placed in reserve. [1] : 20 This changed with rising international tensions: the B class locomotives were deemed to be "valuable in wartime conditions", and as such included in a 1938 refurbishment program. [1] : 20 The locomotives that had been in reserve were quickly returned to service. [1] : 20
At least four locomotives were leased to the Norwegian State Railways during the German occupation of Norway. [2] : 76
Some modifications were made on the B class locomotives. Most were eventually given fully enclosed cabs, but a few were sold before being rebuilt. [4] All locomotives built for SJ were delivered with A class tenders, but some were later given six-wheeled tenders [2] : 76 of the C, C2 and L types and a type inherited from private Helsingborg–Hässleholms Järnväg. [1] : 45 The shorter six-wheeled tenders made it possible to turn the locomotives on smaller turntables. [2] : 76 Some B class locomotives were equipped for oil-firing after the Second World War. [1] : 45 The fireboxes were not optimal for this purpose, having been designed for coal-firing, [2] : 31 but the results were mostly satisfactory. [2] : 30 Today, preserved oil-fired locomotives are popular for use in summer railtours, as they are less likely than coal-fired locomotives to cause wildfires. [2] : 30
The class remained in service with SJ until the end of steam. [2] : 76 The need for steam locomotives declined again in the post-war era, but a large number of surplus locomotives were preserved in the strategic reserve, kept in usable condition to replace diesel-powered vehicles if the import of oil was interrupted or electric vehicles if the power supply was destroyed. [2] : 16 The use of the reserve locomotives was mostly limited to a few trial runs, but harsh weather in the winter of 1965–1966 meant that an unusually large number of electric locomotives were out of service, and B, E and E2 class locomotives in the reserve were reactivated to haul trains on the electrified lines from Alvesta to Kalmar and Karlskrona. [2] : 16
The B class, together with the E, E2 and E10 classes, remained in the strategic reserve after most other types had been scrapped in the 1970s. [2] : 18 Most of the locomotives were placed in sealed plastic bags with dehumidifiers to reduce the need of maintenance. [2] : 18 A large number of B class locomotives were preserved in that manner until all steam locomotives were removed from the strategic reserve in 1990. [4]
Six B class locomotives were sold to Bergslagernas Järnvägar (BJ) [7] : 14 in 1935–1937, [7] : 32 and four to Stockholm–Västerås–Bergslagens Järnväg (SWB) in 1936–1937. [8] : 153 Three locomotives were soon transferred from BJ to close cooperator Södra Dalarnes Järnväg (SDJ), [7] : 32 but it is unclear if they were ever formally registered with that company. [9] : 169 All these locomotives returned to SJ when the railways were nationalized in the 1940s, [1] : 45 but the former SWB locomotives remained on the network of that company until electrification. [8] : 154 The type was known as the B3 class at BJ [7] : 14 and as the A class (A1 from 1943) at SWB. [8] : 153 The cost to purchase one locomotive in used condition was 85,000 Swedish crowns; a similar amount was then needed to refurbish the locomotives before they could be used. [8] : 153
Another B class locomotive was sold to Helsingborg–Hässleholms Järnväg (HHJ) in 1936, but was not intended to be used. [7] : 145 Having been overhauled by HHJ, it was traded to BJ the year after for a H3 class locomotive. [7] : 145 BJ sold it in 1947 to Stockholm–Nynäs Järnväg (SNJ), [9] : 128 where it was given number 12, later changed to 2. [10] : 56 SNJ had it modified for oil firing, as SJ demanded this to allow the steam locomotives of SNJ on the electrified tracks into Stockholm Central Station. [10] : 110 The locomotive was scrapped in 1960 [10] : 56 without having been reintegrated into the SJ fleet. [2] : 76
The B3 class differed from other locomotives of BJ, as the driver's position never was moved from the left to the right side. [7] : 14 They were in fact hardly modified at all during their time on BJ, meaning that two former BJ locomotives are the only ones preserved in nearly original condition. [4] SWB did make some modifications on their locomotives: the sandboxes were moved, [8] : 156 and the blastpipes were modified, increasing the production of steam. [8] : 153 SWB bought used C class tenders from SJ to their locomotives, and the original A class tenders were rebuilt to tank wagons. [8] : 153
Despite the purchase of the A1 class, SWB had too few 4-6-0 locomotives for their passenger trains. [8] : 155 Three new A2 class locomotives were built by NOHAB in 1943–1944, based on the SJ B class. [8] : 155 Some minor improvements were made, including fully enclosed cabs and the use of roller bearings. [8] : 156 They were delivered with the modified sandbox position, but with unmodified blastpipes; the latter were quickly changed. [8] : 157 The tender was of a new design, slightly larger than the C class tender, [8] : 157 known as the B class after nationalization before being grouped with other six-wheeled tender types under the C3 designation. [1] : 45 The former A2 class locomotives, known post nationalization a B class number 1695–1697, were last used in the 1960s in freight trains in the Dalarna region, where they were described by one driver as "the best steam locomotives ever built". [8] : 157
The long use of the B class in the strategic reserve meant that a large number of the locomotives survived into the 1990s, and nearly half of them have been preserved. [4] Many locomotives remained in storage long after they had officially been removed from the strategic reserve, and interested buyers could inspect the locomotives to find the ones that were in the best condition; [2] : 18 38 locomotives were allocated to the Swedish Railway Museum and various heritage railways and preservation societies, [4] although a few have been scrapped later. [6]
There were hopes that the remaining locomotives could be sold to foreign heritage railways, but the fall of communism meant that many attractive steam locomotives were available at even lower prices in Eastern Europe. [2] : 18 A few were sold nevertheless: B 1220 and 1289 are at the Zuid-Limburgse Stoomtrein Maatschappij (ZLSM) in the Netherlands, [6] and SWB A2 101 at Nene Valley Railway in the United Kingdom. [9] : 154 SJ B 1149, also known as SWB A1 96, was sold to the Belfast and Moosehead Lake Railroad in Maine, United States, which became the Belfast and Moosehead Lake Railroad (2009), which sold it in 2010 to the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad which in turn sold it in 2013 to the Discovery Park of America in Tennessee. [9] : 154
Some locomotives that had been in storage along the Inland Line were taken over by Inlandsbanan AB (IBAB), the commercial operator on that line, [2] : 18 and B 1384 has been refurbished for use in tourist trains [2] : 77 together with an E2 class locomotive. [11]

The Rc class is the most used electric locomotive in Sweden. Built by Allmänna Svenska Elektriska Aktiebolaget (ASEA), the Rc is a universal locomotive used both in freight and passenger trains. The largest operator is Green Cargo, although SJ, Tågab, Hector Rail and Banverket operate it as well. Previous operators include Veolia Transport.
Dm and Dm3 is a series of locomotives used by Swedish State Railways and later Malmtafik i Kiruna (MTAS) for pulling iron ore trains on the Iron Ore Line in Sweden and Ofoten Line in Norway. A total of 39 double-locomotives (Dm) were delivered between 1954 and 1971, built by ASEA. A further 19 center locomotives (Dm3) were later delivered. Norwegian State Railways also operated 12 similar locomotives, designated NSB El 12. The Dm is a articulated, freight-optimized version of the Da-locomotive.
D is a series of locomotives used by Swedish State Railways. 333 units were built by ASEA between 1925-43. It was used for both passenger and freight trains until it was taken out of service in 1988.
The SJ Class T43 is a Swedish diesel-electric locomotive originally operated by Swedish State Railways and later other companies. It was built by Nykvist & Holm (NOHAB) in 1961–1963, and equipped with Electro-Motive Diesel engines. Eight of the locomotives are equipped with GM's multiple unit capability and be operated with up to three other GM locomotives. They remain in service as shunters for private railway companies.
T45 is a Swedish diesel-electric locomotive operated by Swedish State Railways and later other companies. It was in passenger service with SJ from 1971 to 1976, after which it was used in heavy industry. It is the only diesel locomotive to be built by Allmänna Svenska Elektriska Aktiebolaget (ASEA).
T21, originally T2 is a diesel-hydraulic locomotive operated by Swedish State Railways and Nora Bergslags Järnväg (NBJ) of Sweden. 60 units were built during the 1950s by Maschinenbau Kiel and Svenska Järnvägsverkstäderna based on the German DB Class V65. The T21 was technically identical with the MaK 800D. The T21 was used to replace steam locomotives on branch lines. They were used until the 1990s.
Mg is an electric locomotive used by Swedish State Railways for hauling freight trains. It was built in 17 copies by ASEA and was in service until 1980.
U is a class of 152 electric shunter locomotives operated by the Swedish State Railways and Trafikaktiebolaget Grängesberg–Oxelösunds Järnvägar (TGOJ) of Sweden, and the Norwegian State Railways (NSB), LKAB and Norsk Jernverk of Norway. They were built by ASEA, Nyqvist och Holm, Motala, ASJ Falun and Thune between 1926 and 1956. NSB gave the class the designation El 10.
T41 was a type of diesel-electric locomotive used by Swedish State Railways between 1956 and 1988 for secondary line services and later for shunting. It was built by Nydquist & Holm (NOHAB), who produced five locomotives under licence from General Motors Electro-Motive Division.
X16 and X17 was a series of electric railcars operated by Statens Järnvägar (SJ) of Sweden. They were built by Svenska Järnvägsverkstäderna and ASEA in 1955-1956 and delivered as 30 units. They are the electrical counterpart of Y6 and Y7 railcars. The units were mostly in service in Svealand, and later around Gävle and in Värmland in the 1980s. The X17 differed in having four-a-breast seating, instead of five.
The Prussian G 8.1 was steam locomotive operated by the Prussian state railways. It was a heavier, stronger development of the G 8 and was initially referred to as a 'strengthened standard class'.
The F class was a type of steam locomotive used by Swedish State Railways and based on the Württemberg C. Eleven locos were built by Nydquist & Holm (NOHAB) between 1914 and 1916. It was primarily used on the main lines between Stockholm-Gothenburg and Stockholm-Malmö. It is one of the largest steam locomotives ever used in Sweden.
Halmstad Bolmen Railway was a 64 km long narrow gauge railway line from Halmstad to Bolmen in the Halland County of Sweden. It had a gauge of 1,067 mm.
The Swedish State Railways class E10 was a type of steam locomotive which was used for freight traffic. Ten locomotives were built in 1947 as a slightly modified version of the older E9 class. They were used mainly on the Inland Line, before being placed in the strategic reserve, where some remained until 1990; five of them have been preserved.
The A class of the Swedish State Railways (SJ) was a type of steam locomotive built between 1906 and 1909 for hauling mainline express trains. The 26 locomotives were built to replace older types that could not cope with the increasingly heavy express trains, but soon became insufficient themselves. They were relegated to less important passenger trains, and five were transferred to then-independent Ostkustbanan (OKB) in the 1920s, but returned when that company was nationalized in 1933.
The E, E2 and E5 classes of the Swedish State Railways (SJ) were three closely related types of steam locomotives. The E class 0-8-0 locomotives were part of the development of modern superheated types that had begun with the A class in 1906, and were intended for both mixed traffic in Norrland and heavy freight trains in southern Sweden. Many of them were rebuilt to the 2-8-0 E2 class between 1935 and 1951, enabling a speed increase from 65 kilometres per hour (40 mph) to 70 km/h (43 mph). Three E class locomotives built for private railways became known as the E5 class following nationalization, as they were slightly heavier than the ones built for SJ.
The Mb, later G12 class of Halmstad–Nässjö Järnväg (HNJ), known after nationalization in 1945 as the E9 class of the Swedish State Railways (SJ), was a type of steam locomotive built primarily for freight traffic. They were the basis for the nearly identical SJ E10 class.
The passenger train locomotives number 27–29 of Stockholm–Roslagens Järnvägar, usually referred to as stortyskarna, were the largest steam locomotives ever built for the Swedish three foot gauge railways. Initially used in fast passenger trains from Stockholm to Rimbo and Hallstavik, they were moved to freight service after the Stockholm–Rimbo Line was electrified in 1946. They hauled iron ore from Dannemora mine and transporter wagons from Uppsala, but were replaced by diesel locomotives during the 1950s. Two locomotives were leased at different times to the narrow-gauge network in Västergötland. Their last service was between Rimbo and Hallstavik in 1960. SRJ 28 has been preserved.
Norra Hälsinglands Järnväg (NHJ) was a narrow-gauge railway between Hudiksvall and Bergsjö in northern Gävleborg County, Sweden, in operation from 1896 to 1962. It was often called Bergsjökoa.
The R class of the Swedish State Railways (SJ) was a type of steam locomotive built between 1908 and 1909. The class was built primarily to pull heavy iron ore trains on the Iron Ore Line in northern Sweden.
