Köping, Skinnskatteberg

I'm back to Sweden, and today I'm making a daytrip to Västmanland region, I will visit Köping and Skinnskatteberg.

 Track 16, previously used by SL commuter trains (pendeltåg), now being used by regional trains. The platform for SL trains is higher than for all other trains.

 From Wikipedia: "In the 19th century Köping established itself as an industrial city, with a large mechanical workshop and a prosperous harbor. A fire in 1889 destroyed large parts of Köping, whereafter it was rebuilt using stone material under supervision of architect Theodor Dahl.
In the 20th century all kinds of companies have established themselves in Köping. Volvo built a large industry there in the 1920s; the arguably most known bed manufacturer in Sweden, Hästens, in 1924; and a number of gold groceries between 1940-1960."
