Mosselund, Eneryda, Stockaryd

Today I will go from Hässleholm back to Stockholm, stopping at various places along Södra Stambanan railway (Southern Main Line).

Hässleholm

First stop is at Ballingslöv which is the name of the town and station north of Hässleholm. For some reason Trafikverket is calling this place Mosselund.

X11 3170 to Växjö

Liatorp station

For some reason the station in Liatorp was not reopened in 2013 even though this town is bigger than for example Ballingslöv (Liatorp has 574, Ballingslöv 362 inhabitans according to Wikipedia).

Eneryda

Railway crossing in Värmbron

Between Värmbron and Lammhult the railway is built in this way

Rörvik is a town with 620 inhabitans, yet it was decided to not built a train stop here for the Krösatåg services between Alvesta and Nässjö.

Former station location can be seen here with space for the platform
