I wish the new owners the best of luck. The NB class was a narrow gauge
loco that was an absolute disaster. They are a very strong loco but
unbelievably unreliable. They failed constantly. I am not sure of the exact
year of manufacture but I think it was in the mid to late 70's. They were
converted top standard gauge in the early 90's but had a bad vibration and
so were limited to 70 km/h. I am amazed that they are to be approved to run
at 90 km/h. Some one must have fixed them.
