I 1897 (attennittisju):
> Om sommeren var det forbindelse inn i Sverige, for da gikk det nattog mellom #Storlien og #Stockholm, og det kjørte så raskt at det tok igjen morgentoget et eller annet sted langt inne i Sverige. Og enda bedre, om sommeren hadde dette togparet en gjennomgående sovevogn mellom #Trondheim og Stockholm to dager i uka.
Direkte #nattog mellom Trondheim og Stockholm hadde vært noe!
No rest here. Off goes Rick to Faro, and I’m changing in Tunes and trying to get to Pocinho today. The 24h delay to #LongestTrainEU makes my #CrossBorderRail the next few days quite complicated!
Right then!
Record attempt: Longest train journey in the EU is live!

@jon 's #longesttraineu journey is now up on Simply Railway's channel!
Finland supposedly wants to build standard gauge tracks from Haparanda 🇸🇪 as far as Misi (half way between Rovaniemi and Kemijärvi) for military purposes https://yle.fi/a/74-20244260
I *still* don't get the point
*Surely* development of dual gauge freight wagons would be an easier way to do this? 🤔

Welcome to today's thread - #CrossBorderRail to/from #LongestTrainEU Day 15 - 26 Sep - Košice - Bánovce nad Ondavou - Čierna nad Tisou - Košice
New borders:
Uzhhorod 🇺🇦 - Maťovské Vojkovce 🇸🇰
Borders already crossed:
None
The penultimate active border line of the #CrossBorderRail project – the broad gauge freight line from Košice to Ukraine. But I will stay on the Slovakian side of the border.
