International railway scenes

An international night train, pulled by a Swedish Rc-engine, makes a short stop in Fredrikstad,
Norway, a summer day in 1991.

A multiple TGV formation is ready to leave Gare de Lyon 1993-07-14, a suitable day to stay
away from Paris. This train ran at 270 kilometres per hour for about two hours until the tracks
to the south of Lyon forced it to lower its speed.

A "kamikaze" tram on a mission in Zürich 1993-07-20. The city had been "invaded" by japanese
features as part of some commercial drive. For instance, expensive sushi was served in some
trams, among those the one
seen here. The initiative was rather pleasant apart from prices. |

A train on its way toward Chur on the fine narrow gauge Rhaetian railway in
Switzerland has just met a train (not visible) bound for Saint Moritz 1993-07-22.

The train on its way to Saint Moritz passes the impressive Landwasserviadukt on the Rhaetian
railway in 1993-07-22.

The harbour and station in Flåm, Norway, 1993-07-30. The short but very steep railway between Myrdal
and Flåm is a popular tourist destination. It connects the Bergen railway line with the Aurland
fjord, an offset of the Sogne fjord. Swedish X10-trains have been used here to strengthen the
capacity.
