Today I'm travelling back to Stockholm, following the route from Halmstad along the railway which opened 1877 from Halmstad to Värnamo and in 1882 all the way to Nässjö.
First I'm visiting Halmstad Norra Station, which lost its position as a station when Västkustbanan route was rebuilt. Today it is a kindergarten.
Åled
Åled still has a platform, but there is no stop here
First stop after Halmstad is Oskarström.

Station is closed, but it's possible to view the old ticket counter inside
Not much left of Johansfors station

Once this railway was the largest private and had the highest standard, allowing speed of 110km/h during 1930's. Today it looks more like a heritage railway with old artefacts.

There are 4 trains per day on this line. Here is an Y32 to Halmstad.
