They forgot to stop and pick you up. Very different looking from trains here.

yea.. they blew right past me... :D

actually Amtrak had a set of this kind for a test 1992-93 to see if they wanted to buy it from sweden.. but they decided to buy from another manufacturer.

thanks for the comments :)

SJ is the railcompany that owns all the X2000 trains, that was built by ABB (http://www.abb.se/global/seabb/seabb360.nsf/language/us) and it was built between 1989 -98, this is the first expresstrain in sweden, with the standard maximum speed is 210 Km/h, but the speedrecord for this is 276 km/h.

here i found something about the deal

Nice looking equipment. Any country that can build Saabs and Volvos is certainly capable of making good-looking trains too.
