To give you all a slight idea about where we are...

Orsa´s rail station

A view north from the platform, showing the roundhouse. Today it is used by the local rail society to store their rolling stock.

The train is a class Y1 railcar. Constructed by Fiat and know among swedish rail enthusiasts as "Pizza Racers."

After a few minutes we are at Tallhed, the first stop north of Orsa and one of only 3 remaining passing sidings bethween Orsa and Sveg.

View over the waterfall from the Storstupet bridge.

Passing the lines highest point at Gråtbäck, 524 meters above sea level.
