Inlandsbanan runs from south to north over 1000km
through sparsely populated countryside, eventually reaching the
iron ore mining town of Gällivare, north of the Arctic
Circle. In this picture, passengers gather on the platform before
re-boarding the 07.44 Östersund - Mora at Sveg, where it had
paused for a 2½ hour lunch break, on 23 May 1992. At this
time a year-round service operated on the line, but it has now
been reduced to a "tourist" service operating for just
10 weeks during the summer. |
