NSB El 11

The NSB El 11 was an electric locomotive which was operated for both passenger and freight trains by NSB. It was the third type of Norwegian electric locomotive with bogies, after the NSB El 7 and NSB El 9. They were manufactured by Norsk Elektrisk & Brown Boveri (NEBB) and Thune mekaniske verksted. The first 35 engines were built between 1951 and 1956 and numbered 11 2078 to 11 2112, a second series of 6 engines, the El 11b, was built between 1963 and 1964 and numbered 11 2145 to 11 2150. The b-series had minor modifications such as a windshield consisting of two large windows instead of four small ones. A further upgrade of the El 11 became the NSB El 13 locomotive.

Between 1982 and 1983 three El 11s were upgraded for use on the steep Flåmsbana branch line. They have since been replaced by multiple units such as the NSB BM69 and, later, by locomotives such as the NSB El 17. The El 11s was withdrawn from service during the 1990s, with the last use in 1998. There are four preserved engines, two by the Norwegian Railway Club for use on special trains, and two by the Norwegian Railway Museum in Hamar.

Northside Radio

Northside Broadcasting (2NSB) is a community radio station based in Chatswood, Sydney, Australia. It operates on the FM 99.3 frequency and is referred to as the North Shore's FM99.3 on-air and for business purposes. In May 2013, FM99.3 celebrated its 30th anniversary. In 2009 it began restructuring its programs and music content to community-based magazine shows, specialist music programs and a more mainstream playlist.

History

The station began broadcasting in May 1983 from East Chatswood, transmitting to Sydney's North Shore - an area that covers the Willoughby, Lane Cove, North Sydney, Mosman and Ku-ring-gai Council areas. The station was originally broadcasting on FM91.5, playing from a jazz-oriented playlist. Following a move to the FM99.3 frequency in 2003, the station was rebranded Rhythm & Jazz, encompassing a range of genres from traditional jazz to smooth jazz, funk, soul, blues and world music.

Administration

The Mosman Daily reported that on 28 October 2009, the station's board of directors appointed an administrator to the licensee, Northside Broadcasting Cooperative, following a period of financial difficulty. The station switched to a full-time relay of the BBC World Service, canceled all programming and locked all volunteers out of the studio. The relay of the BBC World Service was to ensure the station met all conditions of its licence with the Australian Communications and Media Authority.
