What is the heritage railroad environment like in Sweden? Are these being run by the actual railroad owners, or by private groups over the railroads’ tracks?
Oh, I’m aware of them. Sorry, I should have been more clear!
What I was more speaking about is running historic equipment over long distances on main-line tracks. It’s startlingly rare in the US; most of the railroads (even shorter ones) don’t like historic equipment on them, so with a very few exceptions historic trains are limited to short excursions along tracks owned by the museums.
In fairness, we are now seeing a huge surge in steam locomotive restorations in the US. But I think there is only a single museum in which can even run main-line electric equipment at all.
