CargoNet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

CargoNet AS is the primary operator of freight trains on the Norwegian railway system. It was formed as NSB Gods after NSB fissioned into a passenger and a freight company. NSB Gods changed its name to CargoNet at the beginning of 2002. It is owned by NSB (55% share hold) and the Swedish freight company Green Cargo. The Norwegian CargoNet AS has a subsidiary company in Sweden called CargoNet AB which was purchased as RailCombi AB.

[edit] Locomotives

Most locomotives (except the Di 8 and some shunters) have a gray livery with a checkered yellow and black stripe somewhere. The Di 8 and shunters tend to use the older yellow livery with a red driver's cab.
