Photos of today’s voyage from #Narvik 🇳🇴 to #Luleå 🇸🇪. There’s a buffet counter @diningcar on this #SJ #InterCity, selling drinks and snacks.

It’s essentially a freight line: 12-axle, 14,400 hp #IORE twin-section locomotives, hauling iron ore trains, are dominating the scene.

The Iron Ore Line (Swedish: Malmbanan) is a 398-kilometre long single track railway line in Sweden. The first section of the line opened in 1888. The trains hauled by Iore-class locomotives are 68 cars long and weigh 8,600 tonnes.
