Tågdagarna i Landeryd

This year I decided to visit the annual event called "Tågdagarna i Landeryd" which is taking place for the eighth time. It is an event arranged by Railway museum in Landaryd with heritage trains.

 Since the event is far away from Stockholm, I'm taking a train on Friday evening, and staying one night in Jönköping. SJ is operating this single direct service from Stockholm-Jönköping on all days except Saturdays. From end of Mars it will also be possible to travel with SagaRail. Otherwise, there is a need to change trains in either Nässjö or Falköping/Skövde.

 The trip taked 3h38min

 Passing by Linköping

 X55 train is doing its maximum speed on the line between Linköping and Mjölby

 From Nässjö the train is changing its direction for the last part until Jönköping

 Final stop - Jönköping

 It has been a warm and dry summer, and now it is time for some rain.

 Train 42586 from Jönköping godsbangård to Falköping

 The train is operated by Real Rail and Rc4 from Nordic Re-Finance

 After a night in Stora Hotellet I'm on my way visiting the Railway event in Landeryd.
