Today I'm taking a tour to Värmland, without actually seeing any trains in service.
First, a bridge over Norsälven river. The railway is between Kil and Torsby and it is called Fryksdalsbanan.
The bridge is located near Gunnita village and it has appeared in a movie from Lars Von Trier "Dancer in the dark" with a famous
Train song
Mårbacka is a mansion near Sunne where the famous writer Selma Lagerlöf was born and raised. Today it is a museum.
"The wonderful adventures of Nils" is a famous book by Selma Lagerlöf

During the summer month the Hagfors Railroad Museum is open
The museum has railcars from the NKlJ (Nordmark Klarälvens Järnvägar) railway which was operating between 1877 and 1990 between Karlstad and Hagfors
This museum opened in 1987
Railcars with narrow gauge (891mm) can be viewed here
Last passenger service went in 1964 and the freight trains were in service until 1990
"Uddeholmaren" (to the left) is a narrow gauge version of X20
