TRAIN DRIVER'S VIEW: Voss - Ål the swan song of the Class 69

Better late than never. Even though it's like three months since this was recorded, Youtube finally managed to get it pass the 360p point. Think I might have uploaded this video every 1 1/2 week to see if it would get pass the barrier.

Anyways, this trip markes the last time I will be working on a Class 69 as they now have all been replaced with Stadler FLIRT Class 74.

The Class 69 has been NSB's workhorse since 1971 and has been long over due for replacement. When trains get old the parts get harder to come by. Some of the parts on the Class 69 are so vintage that they're impossible to come by. Now these old buggers will go back to Oslo where their fate either will be decommission, serving as spare parts or sold off to private companies. Two of the trains we had have been reduced to two carriages instead of three and sold to Sweden and a couple has been sold to a company called Artic Train.

The trip today goes to Ål where I will do the exchange with Class 75.

Enjoy!
