I lived in Sweden for 5 years (Gävle and Stockholm) travelled a fair bit and I can tell you the trains are so much smoother than the ones here in Canada. I'm born and raised in Toronto I still live in Toronto and this country of mine is going to shit. Shout out to Sweden sending love from Toronto 💙

Amazing! Train is the best option🤩😆

[@davefroman4700]

Never ceases to amaze me how quiet smooth and fast rail is in most of Europe. Such a difference from N America. Over here the most commonly replaced part in a loco is the air horn. Because they are leaning on it every 2 minutes.

[@acmenipponair]

The major reason is that this route he is running has no railway crossings anymore.

[@davefroman4700]

@@acmenipponair Yes I realize that. In Europe they are sensible enough to realize the only way to idiot proof the interaction of rail and automobiles, its to ensure it happens as little as possible. Here? The Automobile rules. And many people die every year because they think they are faster than the train, and they can see a path around the blockades (if any exist that is).

[@johanea]

On the other hand, our Swedish trains stop operating when there is a leaf on a track or a little bit of snow. A third common reason is migrants who steal copper wires and stop traffic. We call them zigenare. On the bright side, American trains derail every second day while our trains tend to stay on the tracks.

[@MrBlueBurd0451]

One of the most critical parts of true high-speed rail is complete grade separation from any other traffic, so horns aren't needed, because there's no crossings, at all.

You have Brightline now in Florida and looks pretty nice..

Thoroughly enjoyed my trip through good farming land and timber forests at a steady but safe speed. Sweden has certainly some delightful scenery and some parts reminded me so much of parts of the UK and also of my time living in New Zealand in the North Island. A lovely video and thank you for providing me with an interesting ride on a very smooth express train.

[@MrExec3549]

And THIS is the X2000 class electric consist that Amtrak resisted over the Acela. As usual, the American railroad system falls behind.

[@markraciborski4289]

I believe that train has a speed of 125 mph? The DC northeastern corridor, which is the only electric section on that eastern line, is limited in speeds because of tight turning radius, tunnels restrictions. Even the Aclea is throttled back for most of its route, if it hits its top speed is for very short token distances. It's a problem of old infrastructure not upgraded for decades. Trump cut the funds on California's high speed train, it's been restored. The California line, diesel electric is extremely popular. He is also responsible for the Acleas delays as for 4 years the railway had zero support. They have open new long routes, one a 2 days I believe from up north to Florida.

[@cliffwoodbury5319]

I watch cab view train videos from all over the world (one of my favorite things 2 do) and there isn't an ugly continent or country, but the Scandinavian nations are one of my favorite places to see the world from the rails.

[@buffalojill4839]

That's hardly a blizzard. If it were, you wouldn't be able to see 10 feet in front of you and it would be a complete white out. THAT'S WHAT A BLIZZARD IS.

[@peterskdtmortensen9093]

the trains in Sweden still drive in the left side like the road traffic did until 1967.

[@charlesmorschauser5258]

That is real high speed rail so much better than the US

[@jayharder2598]

I can't believe how smooth the ride appears to be.... the rails are so straight, no gaps between the joints... amazing.

[@jonkess2768]

There are no joints its continuous welded rail.

[@Tridentine]

Thats gold filigree laid into the handle

[@acmenipponair]

"joints" - the only joints most European tracks nowadays have are at switches.

[@jayharder2598]

@@acmenipponair I think I"ll have to disagree with you, that would almost be impossible. There are joints, it's how the joints are joined together, matched and welded some how. I've seen how they are "cad welded" in the states and I used to cad weld in the electrical field to ground buildings.

[@STEN3326]

@@jayharder2598 There is another type of expansion joint for long welded rails, it is a longitudinal oblique shunt which causes expansions or retractions to take place in a sliding manner. This is why the rides are very smooth.

[@rgfrank1668]

I have never been in Sweden and this is the first cabview experience that I have seen of your country. I must say that I am impressed. The ride is extremely smooth, I have seen only a few level crossings, near Stockholm construction seems to have blasted quite a few hills to make way for the tracks (my topographical knowledge is lacking I thought Sweden was mainly hilly inland and not near the coast) and overall it is an idyllic picture to look at with the countryside moving past. There are a few odd things looking at this footage from my Dutch perspective. First trains drive on the left, I assume this is a remnant of the past? Very few station on the line (maybe this is the high speed line and there are other more rural lines or the Swedish interior is very sparsely populated?). And some discontinued small railyards which always hurts my soul, I assume there was more rail traffic way back when and that most of it moved to trucks. Overall a beautiful depiction, thank you.

[@JusticeRyan-n6d]

Why don't they have train systems like this in the USA, we're the richest country in the world , yet we have one of the worst rail systems in the world. Really sad. Sweden is a beautiful country, and Kudos to the person filming this Video.😊

"yet we have one of the worst rail systems in the world." we have a biggest and best freight systems on the planet! Go take a plane if you want

[@2jay490]

Because the big auto manufacturers, 60 years ago didn't want people rail transport, so they could sell more cars, to run on government provided interstate highways, 80 years ago in the north east, bus companies drove the tram companies out of business

[@donaldross8597]

Because of the environmental impact of losing all that green space that wouldn't be able to recycle the carbon monoxide. Not to mention the fact that politicians can't build anything without making. It cost billions of dollars and taking 1020 years to complete. Remember Obama wanted to start at California's been working on what the same rail system they've spent billions of dollars for 15 years and they finally stop doing it. Besides, why would I want to take a train from? Ohio to California, who wants to go to California? I would just take a plane.

[@viixy364]

In the UK these trains would have been cancelled due to it being "The wrong type of snow" :D

[@mikecrisafulli8970]

Great video! Wish our trains were this fast and smooth.

[@thisgarbageiscoralgable.88]

Great video ! What is this train's average speed ? 😎

[@drzookmd9086]

Hi! I just scrolled past here, no real connection to trains. The X2000 trains operate at up to 200 km/h. This trip covers 398 km (according to sources) and takes 2:58 h, for an average on this trip just under 140 km/h.

[@DommoPA]

Looks like 80 mph

[@t-bonejones3576]

[@Christian-oq3md]

thats not a blizzard, not even a snowstorm. it looks like a snowstorm due to the speed of the train.

[@meekhilewhitewolf7036]

why are there 4 rails every time they enter/exit a tunnel? starts with a little "V" shape and its almost like dual gauge but its ONLY in the tunnels. Ive tried to google it but im coming up short. Beautiful country, looks a lot like home. i need to visit sometime. going to be watching more of these

[@SwedishRailcam]

They are there because of if the train derails, the wheels are still in tact with the rail which prevents accidents. It’s the same on bridges😊

[@danstephens9500]

You call that a blizzard? I live in Georgia, USA and we've had worse than that many times and not called it a blizzard. In a real blizzard I would have at least expected to see snow accumulating on the windshield, and visibility reduced to less than 100 meters. Except for the click-bait title, this is a great video.

[@dan4466]

Anyone know why the train almost come to a complete stop for one train I saw pass, but many others the train didn’t slow down?

[@kincardinecastle8331]

Clearly you don't understand what is a blizzard.

[@stump1897]

That amount of snow wouldn’t even shut down Texas.

[@thabstract0ne]

Your're correct... not a "Blizzard" in the video, but February 2021 gave us 3in of snow, but severe temperatures in the farenheit teens and that shut Texas down for several days

[@richarddouglas1712]

False advertisement 😅

[@drummerboy1390]

Ask for a refund.

[@andreasfischer9158]

That is a false friend, the Swedish word blizzard means that there are flakes of snow falling from the clouds towards the ground. Another example is the word Sweden which in Sweden means the country between Norway and Finland whereas in the English-speaking world, Sweden means the country squeezed in between France, Italy, Germany and Austria.

do euro trains not have to blow the horn when they cross intersections? Pretty big deal in the USA.

[@Sceri0]

Only if the intersection is non guarded i.e no barriers. However most of cross intersections have been rebuilt to be seperated by bridge/tunnel. Atleast thats how it works in Sweden, do not know about the rest of Europe...

Interesting that trains drive on the left in Sweden !

[@starfishsystems]

It's a carryover from the old convention that applied to the road system as well. The roads were changed to right hand in 1968 was it? And there may still be some awkward spots, like the roundabout south of Skanstullsbron in the Hammarby district of Stockholm. I used to have to pass through there by motorcycle back in the 1980s and it still gives me the shivers.

Geo-location question. American Railfan who relaxes to Scandinavian rail videos. Also love to spot locations and use @Google Maps to find rail side intrigue. At 09:35, train passes a Catena building. I research to discover the Catena Wireless Co. But cannot seem to pinpoint the coordinates for this location. Would it be possible or bad form to ask Publisher to update the Description page to include geographical markers? Example: 00:00:00 Start, 00:09:37 “Catena Building location”, 02:43:58 Partille Ststion, etc? Such wonderful fun and relaxing learning! Thank you
