X9 is a series of four-car
Statens Järnvägar (SJ) of Sweden as express trains. Twenty-three were built by Hilding Carlssons Mekaniska Verkstad between 1960–1963 and were in service with SJ until 1999. The sharp reddish orange colour gave the trains the nickname Paprika
trains.
History
The X9 was partially based on the
Göteborg
area, and during the 1980s all units were moved to the latter area.
