Скачать или смотреть Swedish Trains 2022 - SJ X2

A compilation of the SJ X2 trains I have spotted in the autumn and winter of 2022.

The X2 was introduced to the Swedish railways in 1990, and was revolutionary with its top speed of 200 km/h. This is the most common fast train in Sweden, running the routes Stockholm - Malmö, Stockholm - Göteborg, and Stockholm - Sundsvall. There were 43 units built, numbered 2001-2043 on the lead unit.

An interesting fact is that Amtrak tested a unit between New York and Washington during 1992, and the Chinese Guangshen Railway also tested the X2 on the route Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hongkong (which was later sold back to SJ). The X2 set a speed record of 276 km/h, which was later beaten by the X55 Regina.

The X2 series is currently being upgraded in order to last another 20-25 years. The upgraded trains have a recognizable black front, like the X2 2008 at 2:13.
