Alvesta

Today, directly after finishing my workday I'm traveling to Alvesta. I will stay the night in a hotel and on the following day I will spot some freight trains at the Southern main line.

 Helenelund station in the northern Stockholm area

 First, I'm taking X60 train to Stockholm Central

 Then Snälltåget to Alvesta

 Snälltåget has been spreading the passengers throughout the train in order to prevent the crowding.
