The engines are both former Swedish State Railways type T44, now belonging to Green Cargo (their logo is visible on the locomotives). Green Cargo was formed of the freight division of the former Swedish State Railways. They operate freight service in Sweden and also in Norway. The bridge is the Kylling Bridge in Norway.

They look like Norwegian State Railways class T44, or EMD G22.

I don't usually post here but here goes. (I am usually on the Model Railroader side if the forums.) Got a bit of an unusual one for the group: Does anyone know what kind of engines are shown in the new Amazon commercial talking about the amount of small businesses selling on Amazon? I am not great at engine spotting, so any assistance that can be provided would be most welcomed.

The rail shots appear to be European to my eyes.  Don't know enough about European carriers to be able to determine which one is being pictured.

The title was a bit confusing, it came across to me as asking for assistance with commercial engines made or sold by Amazon - as opposed to assistance with the engines in the Amazon commercial. Not a big deal.

I see you live in my dad's home town - spent several summers in the 1970's with my uncles' (now my cousin Bob's) shop by "The Plaza" watching the BN coal trains roll by.
