Vanersborg photos?
Author: symph1

My daughter is spending a semester abroad in Vanersborg, Sweden. That makes me curious about the town -- does anyone have any photos of railroad activity there? Thank you in advance.

Vänersborg is on a branch line connecting the Göteborg to Stockholm mainline to the Göteborg to Oslo mainline. The station of Öxnered on the mainline to Oslo is about 2.5 miles SW of Vänersborg. The mainline sees a mixture of freight and passenger traffic. I have a video showing freight and passenger trains at Trollhätten which is a roughly 6 miles south of Vänersborg, Trollhätten is the home of Saab. The line through Vänersborg is electrified, passenger service is most likely with Bombardier Regina EMUs.

Isn't this also a line where they had a major special bridge repairs last year? Or do I remember wrong this one.
