===Railway links with adjacent countries=== * [[Rail transport in Norway|Norway]] at [[Kornsjø]] ([[Gothenburg]]-[[Oslo]]), [[Charlottenberg]]/[[Eda, Sweden|Eda]] ([[Stockholm]]-[[Oslo]]), [[Storlien]] ([[Östersund]]-[[Trondheim]], not electrified Storlien-Trondheim) and [[Riksgränsen]] ([[Narvik]]-[[Kiruna]]) ** same gauge – same voltage – same [[Automatic Train Control|protection system]]. Most Swedish and Norwegian rail vehicles can cross the border. As there is only single-track at all border crossings, there is no need for bridges to make the transition from left- to right-hand traffic. * [[Transportation in Finland|Finland]] at [[Tornio]]/[[Haparanda]] ** [[break-of-gauge]] {{RailGauge|1435mm}}/{{RailGauge|1524mm}} – other protection system. All freight has to be reloaded. No passenger traffic by rail. * [[Transportation in Denmark|Denmark]] at [[Öresund bridge]] ** same gauge – voltage change [[15kVAC]]/[[25kVAC]] – other protection system. Only custom made locomotives or EMUs can cross the border. Bridges to make the transition from left- to right-hand traffic, are located north of Malmö, so all traffic south of Malmö is in right-hand traffic.
