Gnesta, Vingåker

Today I'm travelling along the Västra Stambanan by car making some stops along the way in Södermanland region.

 First thing I see is this animal. When the fox saw me, it escaped to the forest probably saving it's life from passing trains.

 I'm outside Gnesta, and there are plenty of animals here.

 Morning departure of Snälltåget from Stockholm to Malmö is passing here.

 This train has 8 coaches

 Vectron locomotive

 Gnesta water treatment plant

 Gnesta water tower

 X2 in double traction

 X2 is tilting on this curved part of the railway

 Note that only passenger coaches are tilting, not the driving unit

 Railcare/Three T TMX 1013 from 1961

 This locomotive has "Grand Nordic" livery

 Later I see this train at Stjärnhov

 TMX has top speed of 120km/h, so it has to let faster trains pass

 X74

 It's very dry for this time of the year

 I'm near Hålbonäs waiting for Blå tåget
