NSB Type Cmdeo 1

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

During the Second World War , the railway in Norway was very important for the German occupation forces. For this reason, many vehicles of the Reichsbahn were brought to Norway during this time , where they remained after the end of the war in May 1945. They were treated as spoils of war or as a substitute for war and administered by the Directorate for Civil Emergency Planning and in some cases only formally transferred to Norges Statsbaner after some time , even though they had been used by NSB all the time.

history

Six diesel railcars were discontinued under the NSB Type 1 series . These were the diesel-electric railcars 137 170, 187, 200-202 and 208 , built in 1935/36 by Duewag and Westwaggon with the 2 'Bo' wheel arrangement. All vehicles were made of light metal. They were problematic to maintain, but were cared for to the point that they remained operational.

The classification took place in 1945 under the type Cmdeo 1 with the numbers 18295 to 18300. According to the Norwegian numbering plan, C stands for 3rd class , m for engine , de for diesel-electric and o for bogie .

Type Cmdeo 10a

On May 31, 1946, the numbering plan was changed and the former 137 187 with the number 18296 was assigned the type Cmdeo Type 10a .

Type Cmdeo 10b

The other five railcars 137 170, 200-202 and 208 also lined up the NSB on May 31, 1946 under the type designation Cmdeo Type 10b in their numbering system, they kept the numbers 18295 and 18297 to 18300. On July 6, 1953, the cars 18299 and 18300 (formerly 137 202 and 208) retired, on June 14, 1955 followed by 18298 (formerly 137 201).

Type Bmdeo 10a

All railway administrations that were members of the International Union of Railways (UIC) based in Paris in 1956 changed their class names that year. The 3rd class was upgraded to the 2nd class. In the new designation system, 1st class was identified with the letter A and 2nd class with the letter B for all participating railways.

On July 1, 1956, all existing vehicle series with internal combustion engines were sorted in such a way that the number 80 was added to the former, mostly single-digit, type number so that the former type number remained recognizable. Some railcars that were to be retired were not given a new type number, so that there were gaps in the new system. This regulation applied to the existing Cmdeo Type 10a railcar , the former 137 187 with the NSB number 18296, which was now given the designation Bmdeo Type 10a . The assignment of a type number to which the number 80 was added has been dispensed with. Thus, although the Type 90 was intended for the vehicles, a classification was not made. The vehicle was in use until 1958, when it was retired and later used as a railway company car.

Type Bmdeo 10b

The two remaining railcars Cmdeo Type 10a 18295 and 18297 (formerly 137 170 and 200) were also given the designation Bmdeo Type 10a . On July 1, 1958, Cmdeo Type 10a 18295 was retired and scrapped. In the same year, the last railcar of the series, Cmdeo Type 10a 18297, was retired. For him, however, his career was not over.

Further use

These two railcars were classified as railway service vehicles and remained in the Stavanger district . They were in use until well into the 1970s. 137 187 was still to be found in 1980 in Egersund as XCo 18296 and was scrapped in 1984, 137 200 remained in Egersund as XCo 18297 and was only dismantled on April 2, 2008.
