Have always wished the trip...have bought 7 Bolvos and missed out three free trips to Sweden...still drive my mother's 1989 244 DL in Norther California😮😢❤❤❤
I have taken the Stockholm-Narvik train on two different trips. Once round trip, and the other one way to Narvik and then by bus elsewhere in the north. One of the most spectacular experiences of my life.
SO COOL!
The Norddalsbrua was built with demolition chambers in the base onninstructions from the Norwegian army. They did blow it during the battle of Narvik but it was only out of action temporarily.
As it was the port was heavily damaged also.
Excellant ride! Beautiful scenery. Pleasant accomodatuons. Thank you for your commentary.💚👌
We’ll be on this train in the near future and I was so happy to find this well documented and narrated report 😊 Thank you!
So a voice reveal? Nice to hear.
That is a lovely video. Thank you so much!
So glad you liked the video! We are working hard to make more trip reports like this 😀
Such a great video, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The drama in the live chat was wild but i liked the video allot
About to take this train in 2 weeks, awesome to find this video and to know what to look out for!
How was it? 😃
Very informative,thanks sir for the explanation in great details. 👍❤
Glad you enjoyed!
A much different version than in the show: world class trains. That one was more of a heritage train with wagon-lits sleepers, and a dome car. Heard nothing of this train after 2004 though. Glad to see it survives, albeit modernized. I’d enjoy it more if the train ran in winter.
Nice explainatory report. Thanks from 🇳🇱
Glad you liked it!
One of the best videos about this line. The weather was perfect thus making a better video. Just to add some info. The trains are not always on time unfortunately. Especially in the winter thee can be long delays.
Thanks! Yes we did get VERY lucky with the weather.
Haha!! "As usual, the Swedish and Norwegian railway authorities have done a great job keeping the trains running efficiently" (31:32). You must have been lucky :D
Compared to the United States, it’s a flawless operation 😅

@@DJHammersTrains This might vary a bit over the year. When there's a lot of snow, the service might not be as punctual as in the summer.
Unnecessary Fact: Sweden is home to RC4/6 which made the AEM-7 and ALP-44 back in the US.
Enjoyable, but I wish you gave ideas on price etc of the trip.
Dear Sir. Please write what is the music name at 30 min video time. Your video is best to see norway. Wait8ng for your reply.
Please write the music at 30 min. When entering the Narvik. If any body kniw the name. Very appreciated
Thank you so much for the details !
I now want to take that awesome train :) But as I look for tickets, they don't tell far in advance the train timelines. From what you know, was the train working everyday of the year ? Don't want to book my trains/flights for nothing.... Thank you so much if you can help me with that.
Tickets are usually placed on sale a few months in advance. The train generally runs daily, although I recommend checking frequently, especially given that the operating franchise may be relinquished by Vy in the future. Rest assured, the train will certainly continue operating, just under a different operator!
"this is a delicate procedure performed by highly trained epmloyees"
*employee proceeds to stand in between the coupling procedure*
That is how most shunting operators like this guy die. A train driver is technically not allowed to couple if there's someone literally standing at the coupling point
Is in the training a smoke area
How many kilometers and how many hours total?😙
1467 km, 18.5 hours.
@@slasherfun 1467 : 18,5 =79,3 km per hours. Not bad average speed!👍
It is not france TGV😙! But it's better than US Amtrak!👍👍😎
@@nicolayu.kotomanoff4358The RC6 has a top speed of 160 km/h, which can be used where the track permits. It's possible that it's going that fast on the more southern sections of this trip.
This is the line Hitler used to get much of his iron ore. It played a major role in WW2.
I think the Iron ore was shiped out throu the Ice free port of Narvik. Germany was allowed to transport troops to Norway by Swedish railway.
Malmbanan(the oretrack) between Luleå-Kiruna-Narvik is the only track i Sweden that is built to manage the heavy loads of Iron ore.
Lately there has been some derailments on Malmbanan thanks to pool maintenese.
@@hakanlennholm3331 the mine that produces much of the ore used by Hitler was originally a strip mine. Today, the ore body is dug from underground shafts at a depth of 2,000 feet. Strangely enough, it is transported out of the mine in trucks that drive deep underground. Tourists can also go down. This arrangement is surely unique.
Less than 30 minutes
"PM in the evening" is redundant.

Great video, awful music.
