An unique train event, with two double-headed steam trains running parallell on the West coast main line from Gothenburg to Halmstad , on a beautiful summer day. The passenger train was hauled by the class B engines SJ B No. 1037 and BJ B3 No. 130. B No.1037 has one year prior been taken out from the strategic reserve storage on the Iron Ore line and then taken into service. This was the premiere run after storage for several decades.

The steam train event of the year was when BJs -- Bergslagen railway society run parallell with two double-headed stream trains on the West coast main line from Gothenburg to Varberg. All captured in high-def video together with Südwest Fernsehen/Eisenbahn-Romantik from Germany. With three photographers we captured the event from the trains, from cab of the steam trains, runbys and along the line. You can see the trains side by side for long periods, or passing each other. The 115 min. long DVD shows Swedish steam train action in a way never shown on film before. This is the ultimate Swedish steam train DVD so far!

The 13 car long passenger train was hauled by SJ B No. 1037 (known from "Expedition Sandträsk") and BJ B3 No. 130. The freight train was hauled by SJ E2 Nos. 1333 and 935. The historical freight train consisted of 34 cars in old liveries.
