Old Y6 converted to a maintenance vehicle - The trains of the past decades were scrapped, sent to a museum, or sold to other railways. Produced between 1953 and 1961, the Class Y6 multiple units were almost everywhere on Sweden’s unelectrified network until the 1980s, the end of their service. In their original state, only a few units survived as part of the Swedish nostalgic fleet. However, their unique style remains, as many of them were rebuilt as maintenance vehicles. “Liftmotorvagn” LMV 0987D and other LMVs are used mostly for catenary maintenance but the vehicles are suitable for any work where the lifting basket is needed.
