Silverpilen
''The Silver Arrow'' (Swedish: "''Silverpilen''") is the nickname of a Stockholm Metro train which features in several urban legends alleging sightings of the train's ghost. Production and history The train is usually referred to as being composed of silver aluminum model C5 cars. Only one such train, composed of eight cars, was built; it was manufactured in the mid-1960s as a test unit. In a fleet of hundreds of green metro trains, ''Silverpilen'' was the only one of the trains that had not been painted and therefore remained silver.

Some passengers disliked its 'raw' unpainted look. Starting from the point at which it was taken into production in the mid-1960s, up until 1996, ''Silverpilen'' was sometimes used as a backup train; particularly during ru ...
