Filmed in Mollaryd, located along the Älvsborg Line, on October 3, 2026. The video features the X2000 (X2C, X2K) and X14 trains. The trains were operating as SJ High-Speed trains (SJ X2000) and Västtrafik Västtågen.
Mollaryd station originally opened in 1863 in connection with the opening of the Borås–Herrljunga Railway (BHJ). Despite several investigations over the years into closing smaller stops along the line, Mollaryd station is still in service for Västtågen. The station has a narrow wooden platform that is slightly too short even for X12-14 trains, and it has a small, unique entrance via the level crossing, which can be seen at the beginning of the video.
The reason that several X2000 trains passed through Mollaryd was track work on the Western Main Line between Gothenburg and Alingsås, which closed traffic during the weekend of October 3–4. SJ High-Speed trains were therefore diverted via Borås and Herrljunga, offering the somewhat unusual sight of X2000s on the Älvsborg Line.
