Statens Järnvägar is literally "The State's Iron Way" not "States Railway" was previously stated.
State = "State"
-en (ending) = "The"
Järn- = "Iron"
-vägar = "Way"
-
- Statens = The State's
- Järnvägar = Railways
- It's better to translate compounds as one word instead of several words. (Stefan2 01:57, 5 November 2006 (UTC))
- If you look up järnväg in the dictionary the translation will be railroad. Du kan inte dela upp sammansatta ord när du översätter dem. --Dahlis 16:25, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

"SJ" as in "SJ AB" is not an abbreviation for Statens Järnvägar. In fact, it's not an abbreviation at all. "SJ" only means "Statens Järnvägar" in some other contexts. (Stefan2 01:54, 5 November 2006 (UTC))
