Today I'm travelling to Nässjö for further trip north to Hallsberg. The distance is 184km, and I have to take 3 different trains for this trip.
First I'm in Nässjö which is an important railway junction station, and the only place with railways coming from 6 different directions. Here is an Y32 train for service Nässjö-Vetlanda.The train I came with from Stockholm is continuing to Malmö.
I'm visiting Nässjö Railway museum. Here is a railway stop house from nearby Tjunnaryd, moved here in 2013.

Snälltåget at Nässjö C
Snälltåget has recently changed its locomotives from Hector Rail to ELL.

As I mentioned I will have to take 3 different trains. First Krösatåget service Nässjö-Tranås, then Östgötapendeln line Tranås-Mjölby. From Mjölby I'm taking another Östgötapendel line to Motala, then Tåg i Bergslagen to Hallsberg (it is possible to take this train from Mjölby as well).
Here is a map of the region.

Since the border between Jönköpings län and Östergötlands län (county) is here, it is the reason for changing trains.
