Too much to put on a picture, the tram on the lift bridge over the Gta lv only plays a minor part... ;)

Gothenburg city is dominated by wide and bright boulevards and canals.

resund trains are operated by both DSB and SJ (Swedish class X31K). These "rubber noses" link Malm and Copenhagen over the bridge every 20 minutes, but also go on further into Sweden and Denmark. Although celebrated as "flexible" these things are far from that. Always...

A dark, anonymous crowd moving towards the train.

Impression at Malm C

No, not the front, but its nice to sit all the time in the rear cab on the drivers seat! ;) Cab on an Inlandsbanan railbus built by Fiat taking all day for the 700 km from stersund to Gllivare.

Teleshot coincidence: T44 shunting freight while former Norwegian El16 #24 now working for Tagkompaniet arrives in the background with a passenger train at stersund station.

Detail shot of T44 shunter doing short mainline jobs all day at stersund.

Stockholm subway twins approaching from the old city center, Gamla Stan. At times four trains can be seen here at the same time!

Directions on Djurgarden.

Passengers of this X2000 are welcomed to Stockholm by this ray of sunlight, the city hall can be seen in the background.

Trains cross the city center very prominently on a bridge.

X2000 units operated by SJ and Linx nose-to-nose at the service platform of Stockholm Central.

Typical Swedish Rc3 loco arriving with morning train probably from Uppsala shortly after 6 a.m.

High speed EMU of Arlanda Express is waiting in the underground granite "cave" below Stockholm airport for departure to Stockholm central station.

This one is made in Germany just after WW1 and sold to Sweden as surplus. This type of steam locomotive was made for the German army for use in the trench warfare and was used in transport duty.

Probably my favourite spot on my recent holiday (although there were many other great ones :)): on top of Stockholm town hall tower! SJ X2000 high speed train is leaving Stockholm Central Station down South to Gteborg as train 441 at 16:10 over the bridge North of the historic city center...

There must be enough diamonds here?
