X9 is a series of three-car electric multiple units operated by Statens Järnvägar (SJ) of Sweden as express trains. They were built in 23 copies by Hilding Carlsson Mekaniska Verkstad between 1960-63 and were in service with SJ until 1999. The sharp reddish orange color gave the trains the nick name Paprica trains.
[edit] History
The X9 was partially based on the X20/X21-series delivered by Hilding Carlsson to SJ. The X9 was put into service in Southern Sweden and from Stockholm to Dalarna. During the 1970s all the units were moved to either Skåne or the Göteborg area, and during the 1980s all units were moved to the latter area.
