Trains in Björkliden and Abisko, northern Sweden - October 2026

Filmed on October 3rd and 4th, 2026, in Björkliden and at the Abisko Tourist Station along the Iron Ore Line (Malmbanan) in Lapland, in the far north of Sweden. The video features Rc6, IORE, 185-series, 482-series, and 744-series locomotives. The trains include SJ InterCity services, LKAB freight trains (MTAB iron ore trains), CargoNet freight trains (Arctic Rail Express), OnRail freight trains (North Rail Express), Kaunis Iron freight trains (operated by Railcare using 482-series locomotives—now running with three locomotives), and Railcare service trains. The second locomotive in the final clips reportedly experienced an issue involving smoke earlier in the day while en route to Narvik, which is why it was being hauled as a dead-towed unit. Can you spot LKAB’s pride wagon and golden wagon in the video?
