In a change from hot climes, OT was in Sweden last week.
Here are a few photos for those interested.
1) At work on the Infrastructure - S&C renewals
Starting work
Cutting the rail
2) An X60 series EMU working a Regional service to Gothenburg waits for departure time at Stockholm Central.
3) InterCity - An ASEA Rc6 locomotive 1343 with a very, very late Train 93 14:48 Narvik to Malmo overnight sleeper train.
This service, which had departed Narvik the previous afternoon, was running some 4&1/2 hours late as it arrives into Uppsala Central. It has a further 6&1/2 hour run ahead of it.
4) An Upptaget Regina X52 EMU arrives at Uppsala with Train 8441 12:25 Gavle to Upplands Vasby.
5) A double deck X40 EMU pauses at Hallsberg with Train 445 18:10 Stockholm Central to Goteborg Central.
6) Rc6 1311 races through Hallsberg with a container train.
7) Regional X 2000 Train 645 18:14 Stockholm Central to Karlstad Central arrives at Hallsberg.
8) High Speed services pass on one of the Main Lines. Note how good the track is.
With thanks to my friends and colleagues on the Swedish Railways
