I looked at taking the train from Stockholm to Helsinki and it's kind of
possible (although there is a short bus trip in the middle) but of course
involves going up very far north and coming back down.  It's not a short
trip although it looks like it might be fun in the summer.

It, or the ferry, would have been a much better plan than my flight from
Stockholm to Helsinki through London, which was the only flight I could
get because there was a Finland-Sweden hockey match taking place at the
time and all seats everywhere were booked.  I did make it to Helsinki
but my luggage all remained in London.
