Hudiksvall, Delsbo, Karsjö, Landafors

Today is the last day of my autumn holidays and I'm going back to Stockholm.
It's sunrise in Hudiksvall, and I'm taking a walk in the city

Single track railway is passing through central Hudiksvall









After leaving Hudksvall I'm following the route of Dellenbanan, 62km long railway between Hudiksvall and Ljusdal. The last services on this route went in 1986
Here is the railway near Bäck

Kyrksjön
Church in Forsa
The railway was built in 1860 as narrow gauge and was later rebuilt to standard gauge in 1888. It was electrified in 1959.

Simeå



SJ Intercity train 86 from Stockholm to Östersund



Railway between Söderhamn and Kilafors is another cross line connecting Norra stambanan and Ostkustbanan, just like Dellenbanan. It is 36km long, the last passenger train went here in 1971 and freight trains were partially using the route until 2002. Since the route between Gävle and Söderhamn is heavy congested, it was decided to modernise this railway in order to reduce freight trains on Ostkustbanan.
