what is it?
X10p is a series of three-car electric multiple units operated by Greater Stockholm Transport (SL) on the Stockholm urban rail network called Roslagsbanan. The 891 mm (2 ft 11+3⁄32 in) gauged line cannot use the standard gauge rolling stock used in the rest of Stockholm, so SL ordered 35 new units to replace much older stock. Since 1995 X10p has been the sole stock used on Roslagsbanan.

fun facts
- First built 36 years ago, in 1990.
- 400 kW is about 5 family cars (~85 kW each) flat out.
- Weighs about as much as 4 African elephants (~6 t each).
- 19.9 m long: about 4 cars parked nose to tail.
- Seats 232: 5 full city buses (~50 seats each).
- Still in service after 36 years.
multiple unit: A self-propelled train: motors are spread under the passenger cars, so no separate locomotive.
