SJ_BC2D_BLO.jpg (63803 bytes)

SJ BC2D No. 50 74 58-73 793-3 at a siding in Berlin- Lichtenberg, 2002-04-25. Evening photo taken at low light.

SJ_BC4+WL1_got1.jpg (85144 bytes)

Comparison between the angular 1980s design of the SJ couchette coach BC4 No. 3474 (left, with sliding doors) and the rounded 1960s design of the sleeping coach WL1 No. 5016 (right, with slam doors), about twenty years older. You can also see the differences in livery - the BC4 has a blue stripe above the windows, the WL1 is all black to the roof edge.

SJ couchette car (Liggvagn) in Göteborg, July 1996. This is a different construction than other SJ cars (probably to have more space in the compartments). You can also see the overhead wire span bridges used in Sweden.

SJ_WL4_5600_got1.jpg (101474 bytes)

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.
