They were mainly used on the line II, which was inaugurated in April 1964. All C4 class were withdrawn by the end of 2001. The power cars were Bo-Bo type, traction motors were Weco 1447B ASEA LJB 2948, length was 17.62 metres, width 2.78 metres, seating was for 48 passengers with 108 standing = 156 passengers capacity.

    With the driving cab at one end, did the units have to be reversed for the return trip?

    Two sets were probably permanently coupled back to back.

    Line 14 was Ropsten to Fruängen in those days - it only became Mörby Centrum to Fruängen from June 2004.
