Editing Loading gauge (section)

====Sweden====
Sweden uses shapes similar to the Central European loading gauge, but trains are allowed to be much wider.

There are three main classes in use (width × height):<ref>{{cite web

* Class SE-A is {{convert|3.40|by|4.65|m|ftin|abbr=on}}. Similar to OPS-NL (Netherlands), Victorian (Australia) and Chinese loading gauges.
* Class SE-B is {{convert|3.40|by|4.30|m|ftin|abbr=on}}. Similar to Norwegian loading gauge.
* Class SE-C is {{convert|3.60|by|4.83|m|ftin|abbr=on}} with a completely flat roof top. Similar to OPS-GC (Netherlands) loading gauge.

The [[Iron Ore Line]] north of [[Kiruna]] was the first electrified railway line in Sweden and has limited height clearance (SE-B) because of snow shelters. On the rest of the network belonging to the [[Swedish Transport Administration]] (''Trafikverket''), the [[structure gauge]] accepts cars built to SE-A and thus accepts both cars built to UIC GA and GB. Some modern electric multiple units, like [[Bombardier Regina|Regina X50]] with derivatives, are somewhat wider than normally permitted by SE-A at {{convert|3.45|m|ftin|abbr=on}}. This is generally acceptable as the extra width is above normal platform height, but it means that they can not use the high platforms that [[Arlanda Express]] uses ([[Arlanda Central Station]] has normal clearances). The greater width allows sleeping cars in which tall people can sleep with straight legs and feet, which is not the case on the continent.
