SL X60
X60 is a series of Coradia Nordic 6-car articulated electric multiple units operated by Storstockholms Lokaltrafik (SL) on the Stockholm commuter rail network. They were manufactured by the French manufacturer Alstom at their plant in Salzgitter, Germany between 2005 and 2017, and replaced all older X10 units. Background The original cars for the Stockholm commuter rail service, called X1, were delivered between 1967 and 1975. A batch of new cars, designated X10, were delivered between 1983 and 1993.
