"Retired EMD 567C diesel engine, likely from a NOHAB-built MY or MX locomotive. Photographed in a transitional state—between power and decay—this unit embodies the legacy of transatlantic engineering and Nordic rail history."

The Belgian association #PFT #TSP used to organise, and probably still organises, railfan specials that included a number of photo stops en route. On this picture, taken in the #Gent 🇧🇪 area in May 2008, we see such a charter train hauled by two “round nosed” #AFB #Nohab diesels.

And what do we have here? Sorry for the crappy photo quickly taken through the train window. #nohab

Am ersten Juni Wochenende 2024, wurde im alten Bw #Wittenberge 70 Jahre #Nohab mit 10 Rundnasen gefeiert. Sogar My 1101 ist aus Dänemark gekommen. Leider lag ein dunkler Schatten über dem Nohab-Treffen. Der Altmark-Rail Gründer Michael Frick war nur wenige Tage zuvor mit nur 66 Jahren verstorben.

We will be pushed by a lovely old #NOHAB diesel loco. The most exciting bit of my #Interrail trip…

In operation the M61 had proven to be far more reliable and economical than the M62, and gained cult status among train fans in Hungary over the years.

6 out of the original 20 M61s are still operational, despite the state railways' best efforts in the late 90s to scrap them and sell them for parts. (001, 006, 010, 017, 019, 020 are operational, 002 still exists but almost entirely parted out, 004 partially preserved as a museum exhibit after a major accident).

Train nerding:

In 1963-64, the Hungarian State Railways (MÁV) 🇭🇺 bought 20 American-licensed 🇺🇸 Swedish 🇸🇪 made NOHAB AA16 locomotives. They were put into service under class name "M61", and they were a huge success.

This was so controversial in the East-Bloc, that the Soviet Union decided to build an entire loco-series to compete under type code "M62", and they flooded the entire East-Bloc with them. The naming directly comes from the Hungarian code for the NOHABs.

#Padborg 🇩🇰 yard used to be a place (or still is a place, which I ignore since I haven’t been there for years) where a number of round-nosed #Nohab diesels had been stored. Pictured here, on a photo I’ve taken in July 2006, is former #DSB MX 1030, named “Ellen”. The six-axle class MX locos were built in the early 1960s.
