Kosovo

In January 2001 the Di 3.619 (Trainkos 005, now in red/redbrown with a yellow stripe in between livery), 633 (Trainkos 006, now in a red with large yellow stripe livery), 641 (Trainkos 007, now in a red with white stripe livery) and 643 (Trainkos 008, now in a red with yellow stripes on the noses livery) were donated by the Norwegian government to the Railways of Kosovo (ROK) as part of KFOR in Jugoslowakia, a division of the United Nations Mission which temporary administrated 330 kilometers of railways in Kosovo. The 005 and 007 are preferred for passenger duties as they are equiped with HEP equipment. Since March 2001 Unmik Railways was responsible for the exploitation and rolling stock for KFOR. Nowadays Trainkos (formerly known as Kosovo Railways) are operating independently. Due to political trouble between Serbia (which sees Kosovo still as a province of Serbia) and Kosovo (which declared itself independent, recognised by many countries) the railway line between Leshak and Kosovo Polje is as from Obiliq (freight only) not operational since the beginning of 2008.

The current status of the roundnoses in Kosovo is:
  • 005 (now numbered 2640-001, ex-NSB 3619): out of order (engine defect); given on loan by the foreign minister to Bahnpark Augsnurg in Germany, but it is still in Kosovo;
  • 006 (now numbered 2640-002, ex-NSB 3633): scrapped in February 2021;
  • 007 (now numbered 2640-003, ex-NSB 3641): scrapped in 2021;
  • 008 (now numbered 2640-004, ex-NSB 3643): scrapped in 2021.
