The diesel locomotives of the TGOJ Z1 series were bought by the Swedish private railway company Trafikaktiebolaget Grängesberg-Oxelösunds järnväger (TGOJ) in 1955 to replace steam locomotives in the shunting service. The small locomotives were used at railway stations and in workshops in railway depots.

The locomotives with an axle pressure of 7.2 t were used most of the time in and around Eskilstuna . Z1 23 was used from 1968 at Guldsmedshytte Bruk at the end of the TGOJ railway line Storå - Guldsmedshyttan and was retired in 1975. Z1 22 was in service until 1986. Z1 21 received air conditioning and remained in operation until 1997. The underframe of Z1 22 was used from 1989 after a conversion as a coupling car for moving X10 railcars.

TÅGAB Z1

Z1 24 was parked at TGOJ in 1994 and handed over to Tågåkeriet i Bergslagen AB (TÅGAB) in the same year . It was used after a renovation in the locomotive workshop in Kristinehamn , where it lost the rear buffers and was painted silver-gray and red in TÅGAB colors. It was given the new company number Z1 201 and was only 5,540 mm long after the conversion.

Museum locomotives

TGOJ Z1 21 was handed over to the railway museum in Grängesberg , the GrängesBergsBanornas Järnvägsmuseum (GBBJ) after its decommissioning in 1997 and TÅGAB Z1 201 in 2007 . Since then, two locomotives have been preserved in a museum.
