  • '''Inlandsbanan'''[http://www.grandnordic.se/] is a 1300 kilometer railway running south to north through the Swedish heartland, roughly half way between the coast and the Norwegian border. Though there is regular passenger traffic on the line, it mainly serves as a recreative railway, and most tickets types gives you the option to hop off and on the train as you like. It begins in Kristinehamn on the shores of Vaneren, and passes the major inland cities of Mora, Osterssund and Vilhelmina on the way.
  • '''Malmbanan''' literally means the ''Ore railway'' is an important railway running between Lulea on the gulf of Bothnia and Narvik on the Atlantic coast. It's mainly used to transport Iron ore from the huge mines around Gallivare and Kiruna, but fortunantly the spectaluar views along the line can also be seen from serveral passenger trains running between the two cities, and in the summer, a daily overnight train from Goteborg and Stockholm.
