what is it?
The Sm5 electric multiple unit (EMU) is a low-floor train used on the Helsinki commuter rail network. Unlike other train types on the network, the Sm5 units are owned by Pääkaupunkiseudun Junakalusto Oy, a subsidiary of the cities of Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa and Kauniainen. The units are leased to the Helsinki Regional Transport Authority (HSL), and VR operates them.

- At full speed it would cover Amsterdam–Utrecht (≈ 40 km) in 15 minutes.
- 2 MW is about 24 family cars (~85 kW each) flat out.
- Weighs about as much as 22 African elephants (~6 t each).
- 75.2 m long: about 17 cars parked nose to tail.
- Seats 583: 12 full city buses (~50 seats each).
multiple unit: A self-propelled train: motors are spread under the passenger cars, so no separate locomotive.
