50 year old steam engines in Sweden

Yesterday German Tv showed 3 x 50 year old steam engines in Sweden being released from a shed, they had to uncover and lay some track as well as oil the wheels but eventually were able to add them to a passenger special that was going to north Sweden

Do you know anymore about the locos? Were they part of Sweden's strategic reserve, like the British WD 2-8-0 now restored at the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway?

Best wishes,
