This time we go on a massive journey together.We will travel about 440km from Bodens Central to Narvik Godsterminal.
We leave Bodens Central at about 04:50 am, almost twelve hours delayed for reasons I do not remember.
The footage is a few years old and a lot has happened on this line since it was shot. There has been changes to the auxilliary power and the most noticeable change is that from Koijuvaara (2:11:48) the line is now equipped with ETCS E2, a more modern ATP system than the old ATC2 that we use on most other lines here in Sweden.
But the nature and the view along the way is still amazing. Can you spot the white rabbit crossing the track in front of me and the moose enjoying some fresh leaves underneath a power line? Comment with the timestamp if you do.
