		Sweden is a highly interesting railroading country! The beginnings of the railroad era saw numerous sustainable railroad businesses. This period was followed by nationalization and period of slower progress. However, in the recent years the railroads have by now taken the other way back to all modes of operations: private and public, in national and international arenas. Sweden has gone far in opening its rail networks to all operators. As a result there are now dozens of operators for freight and local traffic and much of the rolling stock is of the same large selection found anywhere within the EU countries. The last monopoly stronghold for the SJ was the long distance passenger traffic, but even this fortress is now invaded by partnership of Veolia (providing coaches and passenger service) and Hector rail (providing traction power). In general this heterogenous competition environment is in strong contrast with neighboring country Finland, where no start for even a second railway operator seems to happen. Both countries belong to the European Union, so the rules of competition and environment are pretty much the same, so it's interesting to see two totally different outcomes.
