Officially, such a thing certainly does not exist in Sweden.

But, if you are in the far, far north, north of the Arctic circle, far out of sight of anyone with an office or otherwise a care for such details as rules and regulations, and only if you have friends in the right places (such as in the cab of the train) and travel when few others are travelling…:

Between Sjisjka and KirunaSomewhere in the area around Kiruna
Early summer, somewhere in the area around Kiruna.

Where they got off, there is no station, but thereThere is a cabin. This cabin formerly belonged to along the state railway company and washere, formerly used by an employee who was responsible for a stretch of the railway. The travellers on the photo told me they were buddies with the driver employee but now privately owned.

Later, a local friend told me he had sometimes phoned his friend at traffic control so that a train could pick him up or drop him off at some remote stretch of railway. He told me they'd do it for others as well (secret grandfathered policy) but I never tried. Only along the northern parts of Malmbanan, between Gällivare and Abisko or so.

On top of that, I suspect it's also quite possible on the Inland Line, a line that now only has trains for tourists and only in summer.
