Hallsberg, Örebro Södra

The summer has arrived to Sweden, just 3 weeks since the last snow storm

I'm visiting Hallsberg (as many time before), this time though it is perfect light for the photos

Tågab

Another Tågab

In 2023 Green Cargo sold 6 Rm locomotives to Tågab, here is one of them - Rm 1258

Rm has a higher tractive effort than Rc4; Rm has 314kN while Rc4 has 290kN; this comes with a reduced max speed, 100km/h for Rm and 135km/h for Rc4. Rm was rebuilt from Rc4 for heavier Iron Ore trains in the north. 

Örebro Södra

Very narrow platform at Örebro S

A triple of Rc4/Rd2

Rc2 009

Station hare

185 624, 119 005

and a WL5DE

Örebro Södra station has a very dangerous crossing, causing several incidents from time to time; recently, 3 people died here when leaving the narrow platform after their trains departed. They could not see another train coming from the other direction. I believe this station should be closed until a better solution has been found. Örebro Central Station is located about 500m away, so it should not be a problem to catch a train.

Train delayed due to fire
