Swedish local railway from the drivers view

[Bobjork]

Hello!

I thought I could start my "career" here by posting a video showing the Railway Saltsjöbanan in Stockholm.
It was built in 1893 and electrified in 1913.
1976 it got new trains, modified underground cars.

Here is a little video showing the branch between Solsidan and Igelboda in the eastern suburbs of Stockholm. Or maybe we can call it the inner achipelago?

As soon as I got all my hard drives to work I will show you some pictures of the railway.

(I hope I posted this in the right place, otherwise, I must apologize )

Hej Bo, I'm in Stcokholm quite often with work. And in May I wanted to go out to the end of the line but didn't have time. I have images in my head of it finishing at a sea spa or seaside resort as it did in the olden days. But I bet the terminus is in a built up area nowadays like everthing else.

Yes, in Saltsjöbaden there is a outdoor bath (and you're allowed to be nude there).
And you're right about the terminus. It's a lot of houses there. But along the branch line they haven't built so much. Yet.
