I was in Stockholm in Early May 2010 to visit a friend. I made some time to re-explore the railways, as it had been a dozen years since my last trip here. On my first afternoon, I noted a container train passing the suburban station at Alvjso just after 5pm. The next day, I was in place at precisely that time to make a photo. My observation and planning paid off, even if the weather didn\u2019t fully cooperate.<\/p>\n

Stockholm is a fascinating city with superb public transport and near perfect time-keeping. There\u2019s multimodal connections at most major railway stations, with a well developed network of metro and tram lines.<\/p>\n

The Swedish Rc electric locomotive is one of the most widely built types worldwide. Amtrak’s AEM-7 electric is an Rc derivative. See my post:\u00a0Amtrak\u2019s Mayflower at South Norwalk, Connecticut.<\/a><\/p>\n
