==Rolling stock== [[File:NSB (Norske tog) 75-39 i Vy-dekor, Sundhaugen, Drammen.jpg|thumb|[[Stadler FLIRT#Norway|Class 75]] local train in its current "Vy" livery]] [[File:Moss_stasjon.jpg|thumb|[[NSB Class 73|Class 73]] long-distance train]] [[File:NSB_Class_70_016.jpg|thumb|[[NSB Class 70|Class 70]] long-distance train]] [[File:Class_93_Bodo_Norway_2009.JPG|thumb|[[NSB Class 93|Class 93]] local train]] {{main|Norwegian State Railways rolling stock}} The Norwegian passenger train division [[Norwegian State Railways rolling stock|has a fleet]] of 36 [[NSB Class 72|Class 72]] and 82 [[NSB Class 69|Class 69]] electric multiple units (EMU) and 14 [[NSB Class 92|Class 92]] diesel multiple units (DMU) for commuter services. The company has a further 22 [[NSB Class 73|Class 73]] and 16 [[NSB Class 70|Class 70]] EMUs and [[NSB Class 93|Class 93]] DMUs for regional and intercity trains, which are also provided by 22 [[NSB El 18|El 18]] and 5 [[NSB Di 4|Di 4]] locomotives which haul Class 5 and Class 7 passenger cars. Vy receives subsidies to operate unprofitable route from its owner, while services on the [[Gjøvik Line]] have been made subject to [[public service obligation]]s, which is operated by Vy's subsidiary [[Vy Gjøvikbanen]]. During the 1990s, NSB modernized their rolling stock, expanding their fleet of multiple units and retiring many of the traditional locomotive-hauled trains. Most of the locomotives were sold to the freight company CargoNet AS, but the models El18 and Di4 remain to haul passenger trains. Some of the new trains were plagued with troubles, in particular a brand new Class 73 derailed at low speed at [[Nelaug]] in 2000 because of an axle breaking due to [[metal fatigue]]. As of 2005, however, these trains have been performing satisfactorily. In August 2008, NSB announced it had ordered 50 new five-car electric multiple units of the [[Stadler FLIRT|Class 74 and 75]].<ref>{{cite web |last=Berglund |first=Nina |title=NSB invests in new trains |publisher=[[Aftenposten]] |url=http://www.aftenposten.no/english/local/article2602721.ece |access-date=2008-08-21 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080821063142/http://www.aftenposten.no/english/local/article2602721.ece |archive-date=2008-08-21 }}</ref> These will be used for local service in the [[Greater Oslo]] area (24 sets) and also regional service in southern Norway (26 sets).
