Svensta
Class 193 Vectron loco draws a 12 coach sleeper train from Storlien, Duved and Åre ski resorts towards Stockholm and Malmö. These sleeper trains leaves the Jämtland mountains on Thursdays in the winter high season. These trains are run by a private company, Snälltåget, which also runs the (Stockholm)-Malmö-Berlin train which uses the train ferry plying between Trelleborg and Sasnitz.
These sleepers are in addition to the SST sleeper operated by SJ on a PSO contract and SJ's own seasonal (commercial) sleeper.
The mountain in the background is Vällista which has its own ski-lifts but is some distance away from these main resorts.
