Viewing Album:  Sweden four day trip - Learned about Open Access traffic
 
By:Peider SwissTrip
Dates:3/25/2013 - 3/28/2013
Album Info:Since liberalisation of the Swedish railway market in 2001, new operators took up business in Sweden. The passenger market became divided into two markets: The remains of the Swedisch state operator SJ covers the mainlines and local and commuter operators are privat or community owned. In the cargo market Green Cargo, the former SJ cargo division, became under the umbrella of the finance department. New privat and other state owned operators took up business oportunities in the industrie, forest and trade market through winning more and more contracts. A four day trip brought me around the southern part of Sweden. Information by Wikipedia and many Swedish company mentioned and other sources, Newest pictures are first, rest is grouped by class and operator.
