European trains are (as far as I know) designed a bit differently. They are usually meant to protect the driver in case of a collision with road vehicles at level crossings and to protect driver/passengers in case of derailments (the train cars are intended to stay upright). For train-train collisions the philosophy is one of avoidance with in-cab signaling and what in the US would be called "positive train control". This philosophy allow European passenger trains to be lighter than their US counterparts. The Acela Express, for example, is almost 50% heavier than most European passenger trains (a bit less compared to double decker cars) per car. The Swedish system is called ATC and it will not allow the train to travel faster than 9 km/h above the current speed limit and if the driver does not decelerate in time before a red signal or a speed reduction the train automatically brakes. With this system there has not been a serious train accident in Sweden since 1987 when two trains collided at high speed in Lerum outside Göteborg, although there are still a few fatal accidents every year where trains hit cars at level crossings.

@@zaphr89 Most of my family was in the rail business. My Paternal grandfather was a salesman for one of the lines in the US and travelled the world, laying out road beds and setting up the trains and I hear, even riding on the ships that delivered them to various countries. I know he sold a big line to India, before I was born. My fraternal grandfather worked on the Rock Island Line out of Rockford. And his wife, my grandmother, was killed at a train crossing, her third train car mishap. One of my second cousins lost a leg while working the line. So I have a long history with trains, and I have always loved them. Never was in it myself tho.

Thank you for sharing your story Mitch! :)

@@SwedishRailcam Maybe less so today, but it use to be a very dangerous profession, and that's not even counting all the old cowboy and indian stories of train robberies. :o)

Thank you! :)

Tack så mycket Johnny! :)

Lite förenklat kan man säga att den visar, med fast sken, att kommande vägövergång är säker (varnar biltrafikanter och att bommarna gått ner om sådana finns). Vid själva övergången sitter en lampa som i normalfallet är röd men som blir vit vid samma tillfälle som den andra lyser fast

Thank you Samrat! :)

Indeed a beautiful fall day! Yes the top speed was 200 km/h.

Ja den är fantastiskt vacker bitvis och håller helt med om att Rc-lokets hytt, med betydligt bättre sikt utåt, gör sig bättre än X40 :)

Bra kanske du ser ditt hus eller lägenhet

@@oskarbrattberg3035 tyvär inte, ligger i motsatt håll från tågets färdriktning

Ok tack för svaret

@@oskarbrattberg3035 åker du den sträckan nån gång? ( Ljusdal- Östersund)?

Som snabbast 200 km/h men varierar mycket mellan 100-140 km/h.

200 km/h som snabbast

Så fort?

Looks like 187 400-2, but i'm not sure...

I would also guess it's 400-2. Will check the uncompressed file tomorrow to see if it's easier to see the numbers..

Det är Upptåget

@@SwedishRailcam nej, det är Xtåget. Man ser att det står "Xtrafik" på dörrarna. Men jag skulle tro att själva tågtypen är en X52 (Regina).
