Trafikverket WL4 5582 (S-TRVF 50 74 717 3003-0). One of 27 sleeping-cars built 1990 to 1992 by Kockums, with 11 two-berth compartments, each with a private bathroom. 5 of them are owned by Trafikverket (earlier SSRT) and currently rented to Vy for trains between Stockholm and Luleå/Narvik. They currently represent the best offer in Swedish night trains. Stockholm Centralstation, 2023-07-30. tobias b köhler

SJ sleeping car WL4 No. 5600. Corridor side. 27 of these cars were built 1990 to 1992 by Kockums. 11 two-bed compartments, each with private bathroom (toilet, shower and sink). Both SJ and connex operate this type today. It's great to have private bathrooms, but the small windows are a disadvantage. This was improved in the WL6. Göteborg C, 2005-08-19. tobias b köhler
