 The morning starts in Alvesta

 A coffee at the local cafe

 After a tour in town, it's time to see some trains. Here is 5232 from Helsingborg to Älmhult

 The train will continue later on the non-electrified track to Olofström, hence two diesel locomotives are used

 Td 373 and 372

 The locomotives have a top speed of 100km/h, but they are only used on a short stretch between Hässleholm and Älmhult on the Southern main line

 

 There is a fast train right behind so the slow train has to switch to the other track.

 Train 3940 is passing by with full speed

 Vectron from Snälltåget

 The station is decorated with toys

 Krösatåget is the only train stopping at all stations along the line. Here is the train from Hässleholm to Växjö.

 X11 3175

 Train 19375 from Värö to Nässjö

 This train is also switching to the other track

 Train 5100 from Malmö to Hallsberg

 Rc4 1308

 Train 62055 from Rosersberg to Malmö

 185 403 Traxx

 It's time for me to head north, but first I have to go south

 At Hässleholm I will change to a fast train back to Alvesta
