Railways of Sweden

The northern region of Sweden is rugged and full of snow-covered mountains that give way to lower foothills, heavily forested hills, dozens of rivers and an estimated 101,000 lakes. In the south, large lakes (some linked by canals) and widely cultivated plains stretch across the land. In the 1850s, Sweden began to build the national railway network. Sweden would soon rank among the foremost countries in per capita mileage of railroads. Will you develop the ferry lines along the southeastern shoreline, or instead risk the hardships of building through the rocky terrain of the North in search of greater gains?
