| "Silverpilen (Silver arrow)" is a ghost subway train circulating in Stockholm metro. Unlike the other hundreds of model C5 metro trains painted in green and blue, Silverpilen is the only train that has not been painted. The urban legend claims that only the dead takes this train and gets off at Kymlinge, abandoned ghost metro station. | |||||
