Subjects of Sweden  Sweden's Main Page is a great place to start browsing on the Swedish railroading.  Swedish Multiple Units Page describes most EMUs and DMUs found in Sweden.  Swedish Electric Locomotives Page brings you majority of the electric locomotives, also the new ones.  Swedish Diesel Locomotives Page has a large number of locomotives described, also the newest ones.  Wish to see a great number of Swedish railroading pictures, Swedish Railroad Gallery is a great page to follow! | |
