With 366 units built the Rc series is the most produced locomotive type through the Swedish railway history. Rc locos were built from 1967 to 1988 in four different sub classes and with two different design speeds. The thyristor technology was, when it was introduced in the mid 60’s, cutting edge technology and the Swedish manufacturer Asea was leading the global development.
Now the Rc locos have matured to modern classics. The vast majority of the locomotives are still in daily operation all over Sweden.
