1000 malmtåg

Igår, den 21 april 2020, körde Railcare det 1000:e malmtåget åt den svenska järnmalmsproducenten Kaunis Iron.

Railcares lokförare Anna Helmersson var förare för det 1000:e malmtåget och det har nu transporterat cirka 3 miljoner ton järnmalm mellan Pitkäjärvi i Sverige till Kaunis Irons utskeppningsterminal i Narvik i Norge.

Under den 1000:e transporten testades det även att köras med tre Traxx-lok istället för två och detta för att eventuellt öka kapaciteten i framtiden.

”Jag är mycket nöjd med vårt samarbete tillsammans med Kaunis Iron och det är glädjande att vi nått 1000 transporter med järnmalm”, säger Jonny Granlund, Affärsområdesansvarig, som var med under transporten den 21 april 2020.
