The 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 7 weeks during the summer. |
