On the 7th of July 2019 a Class 66 worked the first ever known passenger train in Sweden, when tour operator SmOK rail a charter train from Stockholm to Malung. The tour ran from Stockholm to Borlange with Electric loco 409, where traction changed to the diesel only line to Malung with Class 66 T66402 from Hectorrail (still wearing defunct Rush Rail Company logos). The reason for the use of the 66 and not one of the groups railcars is the fact that the line is ERTMS fitted, which the 66 has and the railcars do not. All in all it cost me over £500 to do the trip - that including flights, transfers, hotel and railtour cost!! Absolutely worth every penny as it was a fantastic trip. We were offered a cabride, and that footage is included in this video. Thank you to the friendly driver for this. On the return journey we also visited some freight only lines including Vansboro timber terminal, where all of us alighted and they organised a run past! Note the American style horn on the 66, which is non standard.

Sit back, relax & enjoy!
