This is a bedroom suite thing. The green cushion on the bottom right side of the photo is actually a special toilet. You could just take off the cushion, lift up the seat, go to the bathroom, close the toilet lid back up, put the cushion back on, and then read the newspaper on it without looking wierd! It's a special seat/toilet. If you have the cushion on it, nobody can tell it's a toilet, so you'd be able to sit on that thing and read the newspaper without looking like a weirdo, LOL! The tour guide took us on a bunch of the passenger cars, and they were so luxorious! My brother and I were staying at my grandparents' house for the weekend while my mom was running the Memphis Marathon and my dad was on a trip, so my awesome Grandpa took me and Paul, my brother, to the St. Louis Railroad Museum. These pictures were all taken at the St. Louis Railroad Museum. The St. Louis railroad museum is an amazing railroad museum. It wasn't all trains. It had one airplane, at the entrance, one steamboat at the entrance, and a few cars, but the rest of it was trains. The St. Louis Railroad Museum used to be a major railroad and streetcar stop in St. Louis, called Barret's Station. The train stuff is actually displayed on the original tracks that were used at the station, and the tracks even connect with a still active Union Pacific track that goes right past the museum. There is like a fence between the UP track and the museum, but the tracks that the trains are displayed on actually go right under the fence and connect with the UP track that goes past it. It was an amazing museum with tons of awesome railroad stuff. It was a "Railfan's Paradise", LOL.

We're on the super-duper-fast speed train X2000 or X TVA Tusen, on our journey to Skovde. X2000 or X TVA Tusen is similar to the Japanese Shinkansen bullet train, Germany's The Velaro and France's Train a Grande Vitesse (TGV). I'm impressed of this Viking country. Sweden's rail network is among Europe's most advanced. The network connects major cities in the south of the country and also extends beyond the Arctic Circle. I kid you not. X2000 is so advanced, not only it has a bistro, each seat has its own electrical socket and the train is equipped with WiFi! Superb eh, eh? Even though X2000 or TVA Tusen's top speed is 200km/h - not even comparable with the other 3 speed trains - it was still super fast! Here're some X2000 infos for you engineers: No. of carriages A standard multi-unit train consists per train: of 5-6 carriages Number of seats: 5 carriage trains: 261 seats and 2 wheelchair seats 6 carriage trains: 309 seats and 2 wheelchair seats Length: 5 carriage trains: 140 metres 6 carriage trains: 165 metres Performance: Max speed 200 km/h Largest axle-load bearing 18.5 tons Balance: Carbody tilting max 6.5 degrees Max tilt speed 4 degrees per second Noise level: Passenger sections 65 decibels, train driver cabin 70 decibels Fitted for the In carriages with wheelchair lifts there disabled: are two wheelchair seats, a disabled toilet and a number of seats for the disabled.

It's environmental friendly too. :) Just like any Volvo vehicle, ALL its parts are recycleable. I kid you not.
