Väse, Munkfors, Molkom, Torrvarpsund

Today I'm travelling to Värmland and visit some of the street arts from Artscape project.

 First I stop at Strömtorp which is an old junction station where Värmlandsbanan meets Nora Bergslags Järnväg. The line to Gullspång is since 2002 used only by draisine vehicles while the line to Bofors is still used by freight trains.

 The station was called Carlskoga until 1895, and was once a more important station than nearby Degerfors. It has been disused since 1976.
