European Railroad Discussion > Big Time Electric Iron Ore RailroadingDate: 10/25/17 11:20 Big Time Electric Iron Ore Railroading Author: YukonYeti More than 150 miles above the Arctic Circle, a constant stream of iron ore trains operate between the mines at Kiruna, Sweden to Narvik, Norway. The motive power are 17 pairs of Bombardier built electrics of massive proportions known as IOREs.. This is not your typical European railway. In this image a train of 68 empty ore cars run along ridge line near Torneham, Sweden on September 29, 2017.
