From Stockholm to Oslo on an SJ Intercity train: a trip I wasn't expecting 🚂

➡️ Turn subtitles on! :)

We travel between the capitals of Sweden and Norway, between the cities of Stockholm and Oslo, aboard an SJ Intercity train.

We start the trip exploring Stockholm Central Station, popularly known as Stockholm C. The station was inaugurated in 1871, but throughout its history it has evolved into the modern station of today, not without historical details.

After exploring the platforms and the trains that pass by, our train arrives, driven by a veteran Rc class locomotive, a classic SJ train. We depart from Stockholm Central Station, ready to explore the stunning Scandinavian scenery. As we pull away from the city, we encounter the dazzling beauty of Swedish nature in full summer splendor: endless green fields, serene lakes and charming villages glistening in the sun.

The train winds through picturesque forests and valleys, offering us an unparalleled view. The long summer days allow us to enjoy daylight throughout the journey, although rain also makes an appearance. This is good news considering that the temperature in Stockholm was around 30 degrees and our train has no air conditioning, making the heat stifling at times.

Crossing the border, a set of beautiful lakes reflecting the trees welcome us to Norway. As the sun sets, offering us a beautiful sunset, we approach the Norwegian capital and, as night falls, we are greeted by the fantastic Oslo Central Station and this vibrant Scandinavian city. With a look at its most modern area, where there is no lack of its indispensable streetcar, we say goodbye to this 'trip report' of the journey between Stockholm and Oslo in a SJ Intercity, the only direct rail transport between Stockholm and Oslo available when I made the trip during August 2022.
