One of the many museum railways in Sweden. July 2022

They have a rich history of railways, many are no longer there, but some remain in the form of a museum railway.

Usually they struggle to keep their heads above the water, so we try to visit them and take a ride and make some nice images to share.

This one has a nice small stretch of railroad that they drive their railbuss on. It's just a couple of minutes, but it was nice to smell the old engine.

They are slowly rebuilding the 'other' station they own, so that was not worth flying over when we were there.

You can also take a railbike from here to the other stretch of railroad.

And some more panos to show the beauty of the place.

I can only imagine how nice and busy this place must have been back in the days.

Great shot of the turntable

Lovely shot. Looks familiar.  I think you've been there before?

There's one of those (railbike track)  in Saint Loup du Gast, near where we used to live.
Runs from there straight to Ambrieres les Vallées.

This was from 2022
And I have shared some of this place before yes.

Oh nice.

I never rode it though - but we walked the path alongside it.

Thanks

My pleasure

It's quite memorable

Nice place for an enthusiast like you

It's quite hard to start. But once you get going, the lack of resistance makes for a smooth ride.

I think so
They are still happy with the free adverts.

What a lovely location.

That's a really cool turntable.  You definitely don't see many of those anymore.

Fantastic location for a railroad enthusiast to visit and make some great memories of the way it used to be.

Let the kids do the pedalling while you sit on the back

Somehow it did not come to mind

Montfrooij Posted at 8-17 11:05

Definitely a location that deserves a return visit some day.  

Montfrooij Posted at 8-17 11:05
Yeah, and it is still in use.

No doubt it is being well maintained then.  

Montfrooij Posted at 8-17 11:06

I bet you get really excited over locations like that.

Yeah, just finished documenting a couple that will change forever soon.

No doubt it is being well maintained then.

They try to do just that.

Good that you had a heads up and were able to document them.
