Kimstad, Mjölby

After a long and cold winter, the spring has finally arrived, and I'm taking a tour to Östergötland.
 Norrköping
 X40 as SJ Intercity service Gävle-Linköping
 X61
 Rc6 för SJ Regional Stockholm-Norrköping
 A short ride with Östgötapendeln, and I'm in Kimstad
 Kimstad had a station until beginning of the 1970's, the station was re-opened in 2009, now located further east from the old station.
 There a short walk distance from the new to the old station


 The old station building is still there, now served as a residence
 X2 to Malmö

 Spring is in the air

 In Kimstad there is a branch railway to Finspång, once part of the NÖJ (Norra Östergötlands Järnvägar).
 Today there is only freight trains on the line to Finspång
