Kvar på stationen står Di.3b 008 NOHAB 2402, även här hittade jag lite intressant läsning på nätet;
"Serial 2402 was built as a demonstrator/test locomotive and it was leased to Finnish State Railways 12/58 to 03/60 as KDs1
(actual loco never carried a fleet number, though). It was tested against an MaK locomotive and was found to be a superior performer,
so Finnish State Railways placed a tentative order for a series of locomtives with Nohab, and planned to acquire serial 2402.
However political pressure from labor unions and Finnish builders resulted in the Government's refusal to ratify the order,
and ordering from Lokomo and Valmet instead. The demo was eventually returned to Nohab, and after trials in Sweden eventually this unit went
to Norwegian State Railways as 3.643 in 12/60."
