SJ AB [Swedish Railways, Statens Järnvägar, commonly known as SJ] is a Swedish government owned public transport on railway operator. SJ was created in 2001, out of the public transport division of Statens Järnvägar, literally "The State's Railways", when the former Government agency was divided into six separate government owned limited companies. SJ operates a number of different train systems such as the high speed train X2000 and Regina, although most of the trains are still drawn by the 1960s Rc locomotive to serve its customers.
