Jädraås

I'm back to Stockholm, and before my European trip, I have some other trips both in Sweden and abroad. Today I'm visiting Jädraås, where since 1972 a 6km long stretch of a former DONJ railway is preserved as a heritage railway. DONJ (Dala–Ockelbo–Norrsundets Järnväg) was a railway between Norrsundet at Botnian bay and Linghed in Dalarna. The railway was built in 1897 and it is a narrow gauge 891mm railway.

 The town of Jädraås has its own beer brewery

 Locomotive 4 Sigbjörn built 1901 in Motala

 As most of the heritage railways it has services only during the summer

 Ticket hall at Jädraås station

 Pallanite station

 The whole trip takes 20min one way

 2nd train with locomotive 2 Korsån

 Last stop Svartbäcken Nedre

 The locomotive is changing direction here

 At Tallås there is a longer stop

 There is a cafe at the station

 The station has a museum

 This train has 3 coaches, built in Linköping in 1917, Hässleholm 1904 and Södertälje 1896

 The coach are from different narrow gauge railways, this one is originally from Norra Hälsinglands Järnvägs (NHJ) but from 1937 used at DONJ
