Sm3 - VR Finnish Railways |
| Description: |
The Sm3 has received a lot of bad publicity in Finland for its reliability issues, mostly caused by technical problems with the tilting system and couplers. VR has tried to mitigate the problem by coupling trains only at termini instead of intermediate stations and switching the tilting system off during winter. The trains will go through an extensive maintenance cycle between 2012 and 2014, which will include changes to the couplers and the tilting system in order to make the train more reliable. Also the Swiss and Czech Republic Pendolino suffering a lot of technical problems and are almost famous for their failing of service standards. |

| Description: |
The Class Tk3 were designed for a low axle load of just 10.7 tonnes (10.5 long tons; 11.8 short tons). This allowed them to operate on lightly laid secondary lines, but during their many years of service, up to the end of the steam era, they were also widely used on main lines hauling slow passenger trains that made frequent stops. This one is preserved at Rovaniemi station. |

| Description: |
Series delivery of the new electro loco Sr3 of VR began in 2016. The first ten locomotives were officially taken into service on May 25, 2017 and used in regular service from June 2017. The machines are built in the so-called last-mile version. Two additional diesel generators enable operation on non-electrified track sections. The diesel engines together develop a power of 360 kW. They are mainly required as a backup power source and for shunting service. With the fuel supply of the diesel engines, up to 100 kilometers / 62 miles at 20 kph / 12 mph can be covered, so that it is possible to continue driving in the event of a catenary voltage failure. |

A double unit of Sm4 at full speed (160 kph) on the the highspeed line to Lahti. The Sm4 is designed for longer-distance trips than typical metro-like local services. The Sm4 units have largely replaced the older Sm1 and Sm2 units on commuter services from Helsinki to Riihimki and Lahti. |
