Dispolok mercenary ME 26-09 stands in Esch-sur-Alzette on 26 May 2004. Six of these locos were leased by CFL Cargo to plug in the gap that threatened to come with the demise of Classes 800, 850 and 900 in anticipation of newer Diesel locos. Class ME 26 were the less-than-succesfull Norwegian NSB Class Di.6, twelve of which were delivered to NSB in 1998. After two years of constant failures NSB revoked the contract with the builder, Siemens, and received their moneys back. Siemens immideatelt decided to sell her Diesel locomotive production capacities to MaK after the Norwegian debacle.
