SJ Y1 Railcar Diesel multiple units
SJ Y1 Railcar Diesel multiple units
The Y1 is based on the Italian model ALn 668. This diesel railcar was built during the period 1954–1981, with 787 built.
SJ, the Swedish railways, needed new diesel railcars for lines like Inlandsbanan. SJ bought this model from Fiat. They were based on an existing model but modified for Swedish needs. The first was produced in Italy, and later in Kalmar, Sweden. 100 vehicles were made during the period 1979–1981.
They have 68 or 76 seats. As first delivered, the vehicles had Fiat engines. During the 1990s, several were updated and acquired new Volvo DH10 bus engines.
Many Y1s have been resold to other countries, such as Uruguay and some former Yugoslavian countries. Today most of the Y1s still in use in Sweden are owned by regional transport authorities, rather than by SJ AB, where they have been replaced by Bombardier Latino trains. The only regular line to use these railcars in regular traffic today is Kinnekullebanan. A number of Y1 railcars are nevertheless stationed at different places around Sweden as reserve trains. The summer-only tourist service on Inlandsbanan also uses these railcars.
