from:
Ställdalen Sweden to:
Kil Sweden

In this video you can enjoy the cab ride - train driver's view from a SJ train between two capitals, Stockholm in Sweden and Oslo in Norway, the second part of the journey to Kil in 4K/60 frames per second. Join us for an usual rail journey from Stockholm C (Centralstation) and Oslo S (Sentralstasjon), connecting the capital cities of Sweden and Norway. The usual journey takes about five hours, taking a route along Western Mainline (Västra stambanan) and Värmland railway (Värmlandsbanan) via Karlstad but due to works on the usual route, our train took an interesting bypass route via the railway junction of Ställdalen, taking us on a journey through the forests and along the lakes of the historic Västmanland county via several regional lines. Only after four and a half hours do we return to the usual route in the junction of Kil, proceeding then to Oslo for the last two and a half hours of our whole seven-hour journey. While scenic and practical, this isn’t a first choice for travel between these two capitals with just several daily trips including two pairs of express trains with a travel time of five hours and several more slower services. There are plans to upgrade the connection both within Sweden by upgrading the speed on Western Mainline, but also a completely new and direct high-speed route is considered between Arvika in Sweden (north of Karlstad) and Lillestrøm that would significantly cut down the distance and enable Stockholm to Oslo journey times closer to three hours in the future. In the second part of the journey, we are making our way back towards our original route, reversing our direction in Ställdalen and then going south on the western branch of Bergslag railway (Bergslagbanan) on a 150-kilometer journey along countless lakes and forests of Västmanland and Värmland Counties to reach the railway junction of Kil, which is one of biggest railway junctions in Sweden with five diverging railway lines, where we return to the usual route for Stockholm to Oslo trains. I sincerely apologize for the sound in the video. The audio captured outside was unusable, because of really strong wind noise. I have been working on that issue for quite a while and sometimes it is just too noisy. I promise that I will keep working on that and do my best to share a better experience with you.
