Other features include a software to limit the normal 100kmph top speed to 45kmph, air supply for opening wagon doors, a snow plough and radio remote control, according to railwaygazette.com.
The locomotive will be used as part of the mining company’s reopening project to restart iron ore production at a mine at Kirkenes in the far north of Norway.
