Today I'm continuing my journey along main line Godsstråket genom Bergslagen. A railway primarily used for cargo trains travelling south/north in Sweden. Two other posts were posted here earlier: post 1, post 2.
I'm starting off in Krampen.The station is demolished
A small house is left
During summer time it has a museum about nearby camp from second world war time, where thousands of russian soldiers lived and worked. They escaped the USSR during the war, but were returned back later, which was basically a death penalty. More information can be found here
Just a few km from Krampen is Uttersberg. Until 1971 there was a narrow gauge railway here from Köping to Riddarhyttan. The station of Uttersberg is now a museum.
Outdoor museum Galleri Astley is in Uttersberg
Next stop for me is Dagarn. The railway has meeting tracks here.
The railway is heavily used by cargo trains even on a sunday. Here is a timber train operated by Tågab.
The track is open, Green cargo train is ready to leave.
