The Mb, later G12 class of Halmstad–Nässjö Järnväg (HNJ), known after nationalization in 1945 as the E9 class of the Swedish State Railways (SJ), was a type of steam locomotive built primarily for freight traffic. They were the basis for the nearly identical SJ E10 class.
Three Mb class three-cylinder 4-8-0 locomotives were built by NOHAB for HNJ in 1931, based on an older type, the 2-8-0 M class built in Germany in 1922. [1] [2] HNJ changed their type designations the year after, and the Mb class became the G12 class, where G meant that they were intended for freight trains ( Swedish: godståg). [2] Three more G12 class locomotives were built in 1936. [1]
Despite their designation the locomotives were also used in passenger trains. [3] They remained on the HNJ network after nationalization in 1945, but were also used on the line between Alvesta and Borås. [1] SJ referred to the type as the E9 class. [3] They were in service until 1959, and were then placed in reserve. [1] They were scrapped between 1974 and 1976, and none have been preserved. [2]
In the 1940s the Swedish State Railways (SJ) saw a need for modern steam locomotives for freight traffic on the Inland Line and in southern Norrland. [3] NOHAB built ten E10 class locomotives in 1947 from the same blueprints, but with some modifications. [1] The E10 class locomotives were in use until the 1960s. [3]
