Di 3 series diesel locomotives entered service with the Norwegian State Railways in 1954. They were built by Swedish manufacturer NOHAB under license from General Motors and were equipped with EMD diesel engines. The locomotives were used for both passenger and freight trains, especially on non-electrified railway lines. Thanks to their robust construction and reliable technology, the Di 3 locomotives remained in service for decades. Their distinctive rounded design made them a recognizable part of Norway’s railway fleet.
