Dm3 locomotive
Dm3 locomotive

A Swedish Dm3 class triple-unit electric locomotive on the Malmbanan in Abisko Östra, Sweden.

Locomotives of this class were used in the far northern region of Sweden for over 40 years. They are now being phased out and replaced by Bombardier's IORE model.

The Dm3 is actually the middle part of the locomotive while the parts with driver cabins are named Dm. But that way the docomotive is called Dm+Dm3+Dm and that is far to long to be used in common speech.
