After visiting Närke and Värmland, I'm heading to the Östergötland region to spot some trains.
Vikingstad station
Typical station building on this line is a so-called Boxholm model
Since Mjölby-Hallsberg line is closed this summer, the freight trains are rerouted here through Linköping and Norrköping
So, here is one coming
Br 5406 or 185 406
Labeled as D-GC, this locomotive is suitable for services to/from Germany, but I think they are in first place used on this line between Hallsberg and Malmö
The station has been changing names occasionally
Linghem
185 415 and the RRS train from Luleå/Umeå to Helsingborg
Mälartåg Linköping-Sala
SJ Intercity Gävle-Linköping
Norsholm is located on the Göta Kanal.
Södra stambanan railway has a bridge that can be opened for boats on the canal.
There is a railway crossing just near the bridge
There was once a station here, but it was closed in the 1970s. When Östgötapendeln commuter line opened in 1995, it was decided to not reopen the station here.
One of the 58 locks on the Göta Canal
It is possible to purchase a 6-day cruise between Stockholm and Göteborg, the price is about 6000 EUR
Kimstad
Br 5333 on the way from Malmö to Hallsberg
Östgötatrafiken busses and trains
187 427 with a Coop train
Coop storage center is now located near Eskilstuna, so this train is using this line on a regular basis
Rc4P 1297
Rd2 1133
Rd2 1119
A train comes from Skärblacka
T44 348
Taking a short walk near the station
Former Kimstad station building
SJ Euronight to Berlin is now hauled by a Vectron
193 408 from Green Cargo
This locomotive can continue further to Denmark and Germany
