Title[edit]

I am not totally happy with the title of this article. SJ is now a passenger-only operator (not when most of the locomotives were built). SJ does not operate so many Rc locomotives any more. Many are operated by Green Cargo, former SJ freight division. It could be called just Rc locomotives. This concerns other SJ locomotive articles also, and probably articles like British Rail Class 92. --194.17.253.121 (talk) 10:06, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The reason for this is part historic and part the naming conventions of Wikipedia. For rolling stock sold to only a single railway (which was common until the 1990s, and still is for a minority of units) the most common naming is <railway abbreviation> <class>, alternatively <railway abbreviation> Class <series>. All 300+ Rcs were sold to SJ (the former Statens Järnvägar, not the current SJ AB), and the class is named in respect of this. As is common in Europe, the initial purchaser typically sells (or in this case demerged) the locomotives so the class eventually ends up with multiple operators, who often (but not always) give the class a different designation alltogether. Still, most sources continue to refer to the class by its original designation. Arsenikk ^(talk) 10:39, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Romanian LE3400[edit]

The Romanian LE3400 look like a copy of the RC series. If anyone got more information on them, please post them here or update the article, if apporpriate. -- 18:34, 3 May 2011 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexey Topol (talk • contribs)

The Romanians and the Yugoslav swapped locomotives with a ratio I have forgotten, some six-axle CFR Class 40's in exchange for some four-axle JŽ class 441's. They share a common ancestry, with each other and with SJ Rc, as all are based on the SJ Rb series of prototypes. Steinberger (talk) 22:19, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
