X 2000 Tilting Train

X 2000 train from behind. It is an electric tilting train, launched in 1990. It has a top commercial speed of 200 km/h (124 mph) on ordinary railway. Sweden has (like most other countries) very curved railways, and not enough traffic to justify building special high-speed railway lines (at least before 1990). As a result, a Swedish tilting train had to be developed. A tilting train provided the advantages of high speed and comfort for the passengers, as tilting trains can run through sharp (short radius or tight) curves up to 15% faster than non-tilting trains (by leaning into the curves). The X 2000 was designed and built by ASEA in Sweden.
