Where I live the service is done mostly by these old fellows. It's always nostalgic because I grew up riding the same trains. There is real comfort in that even if the train is real bare boned.
The newest estimate from January 2022 said that the Sm2 trains would be replaced during the period from 2026 to 2029. The earlier estimate said 2024 - 2026. The Sm2 trains have some problems but they also have a certain charm, IMHO. Greetings from a rural town on the G train line. Thanks for the video!
@Transportriangle there isn't enough equipment before the SmX is delivered. The remaining 36 Sm2's are going through overhaul 2020-2023 to last until then.
I really miss the Sm1 trains

Aren't blue sleeping-cars (Kolari trains) older?
From around the same time, however afaik most of the really old blue cars are not in use longer.
No date for retirement ?
Nothing yet. Previous plans have mentioned replacement trains from 2024 but nothing ordered yet afaik

@Transportriangle They are not enough, they have to drive the R, T and Z routes, but R, T and Z routes are also driven with Sm2
