Gyttorp, Bredsjö, Loka, Svartsången

Today I'm visiting the old railway between Gyttorp and Bredjö which had both passenger and freight services until 1966. Later on I will visit Bergslagsbanan.
First stop is at Gyttorp
Gyttorp station is located at the NBJ railway between Nora and Strömtorp. This railway is still in place and it is used by the heritage trains in the summer.
