The Dr16 is a class of diesel-electric locomotives used by VR (Finnish Railways). The 23 locomotives have a single off-centre cab and are currently VR’s most powerful diesel locomotives. Their nickname is Iso Vaalee (Big Blonde). They are presently mainly used on heavy freight services in northern Finland; their main passenger duty is the haulage of trains on the non-electrified line between Kemi and Kolari in Lapland.
