Åsbro, Mjölby, Alvesta, Markaryd, Åsa, Skövde

Another sunny weekend, and another trip around Sweden photographing the trains.

First stop is on Friday evening at Svartå station, here is GC 45943 to Norwat

Just before dawn, I stop by at Åsbro, in hope to see the DB Cargo train from Hallsberg to Germany

The last train to Mjölby is passing by

GC 4613 to Hässleholm

GC 5368 to Hallsberg

The last train for today is HR to Hallsberg. Unfortunately DB Cargo train 44981 starts to late from Hallsberg (around 23:00), so its too dark for photographing moving trains

On the following day, I can spot another DB Cargo 44407, this time in Mjölby

El 2206 and 2203

Markaryd station is operated by Skånetrafiken trains from Hässleholm

Freight trains continue beyond Markaryd to Halmstad, there are plans to extend the passenger service as well

Moving on from Kronobergs county to the north of Halland and Åsa station

Aså station is located between Kungsbacka and Varberg, but for some reason it is only served by train services during weekdays. 

Meanwhile I have caught up the CN train

The train is actually faster than car, but due to single track through Varberg it had to stop for while

At Alingsås I can spot HR train 46724 to Värö

On the way back I make a stop in Skövde

Due to railway works at Södra Stambanan, TX Logistik 44585 from Folkesta to Trelleborg is taking a detour
