Steam locomotives of the Norwegian railway company Dunderlandsbanen
This list includes the steam locomotives of the Norwegian railway company Dunderlandsbanen (DOIC).
Dunderlandsbanen was a private railway line in Norway . It was built by the Dunderland Iron Ore Company - DOIC , who operated this rail line for freight transport from their ore mines in the Rana region to Gullsmedvik port in Mo i Rana .
The line was built to mine the iron ore discovered by Nils Persson and sell it to the Edison Ore-Milling Company . Construction of the line began in 1902 and was completed two years later. Operations started in 1906. There were many operational difficulties in the mine and production was stopped several times for years.
With the German occupation of Norway in 1940, the Wehrmacht and Organization Todt began building the Nordlandbane . For this purpose, the Dunderlandsbane was upgraded and connected to the main line on May 15, 1942. After the war, the Norges Statsbaner carried out extensive line improvements on the line in order to meet modern standards.
On July 1, 1947, the entire railway system, including the vehicles, was purchased by the Norwegian state. The existing steam locomotives were integrated into the Norges Statsbaner (NSB) system on April 27, 1948.
