So far I have been lucky with the weather on my Saturday trips in September, today is not an exception. I will travel along the Dalabanan railway and visit some of the scenic towns in the Dalarna region.
Taking the Intercity morning train Stockholm-Falun
3 trains meeting here in Sala as usual
SJ Intercity Falun-Stockholm
SJ Regional Sala-Linköping
Train 40771 Borlänge-Kimstad waiting for departure in Avesta Krylbo
Vectron from Hectorrail
T66
My first stop is in Säter
Säter station
Train to Stockholm
Säterdalen
Ljusterån
Säter has a beautiful old town with wooden houses
Train 6744 Brattheden (Ramnäs) to Borlänge
Green Cargo Td 369

Not here
Clean up after your dog, please
Seems that there is a problem with dogs here in Säter
Train 5761 Borlänge-Hallsberg
Rd2 1100
Transporting a bunch of Re (Traxx) locomotives
Cosy waiting hall
An announcement that there have been graffiti damages inside the station
Two hours later is time for the next SJ Intercity, this one with destination - Mora
Rc6 1408
More Vectrons in Borlänge
Repbäcken, where the non-electrified line bound for Vansbro and Malung is starting
Arriving to Insjön
Insjön station
SJ Intercity train is used here as the Regional service, stopping at all small stations between Borlänge and Mora
Despite being a small town, two of the major retail companies were founded here in Insjön.
In 1899 Åhléns started out as the mail-order business Åhlén & Holm. 19 years later, in 1918, the mail-order firm Clas Ohlson was founded in Insjön. (Wikipedia)
Clas Ohlson has a shop here
X52 9017 from Transitio leasing firm
Next stop is Gagnef
Gagnef is even smaller than Insjön. The train station is located in the middle of a field
Gagnef church
A floating bridge is located here in Gagnef
Road 70
X51 9025
The last place I'm visiting today is Tällberg - which I'm visiting second time this year, and hopefully not the last time because this is certainly one of the most beautiful places in Sweden which can be reached by train.
Small station, lots of trains
Rc6 1408
Tällberg has only 200 permanent residents, but it is a popular tourist place with several hotels
From the top of the hill, there is a great view of the lake Siljan
Statue of Gustaf Ankarcrona
Local beer
Fancy waiting hall
Somebody did not save the money on decorating the station in Tällberg
