NSB El 13

NSB El 13 is a Norwegian electric locomotive which was used by Norwegian State Railways (NSB) for both passenger and freight trains.

The locomotive is a heavier and upgraded version of the NSB El 11 which was popular among its crew but unsuitable for journeys in heavy snow on lines such as the Bergen Line. Like the El 11, the El 13s were produced by Thune. The engines are very similar to the El 11, the main visual differences are that the El 13 is half a metre longer and has three, rather than four, windows at each end of the locomotive. The first of the 37 engines were built in 1957, the last in 1966. They were numbered 13 2121 to 13 2144 and 13 2151 to 13 2163.

The engines were withdrawn from service during the 1990s as several passenger trains were replaced with multiple units and the NSB El 18 took over the remaining locomotive hauled trains. As of 2005, There are still seven El 13s in service on the Ofoten Line.

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.
