A journey to Sweden, 1989: A few signals

Deutsche Version dieses Postings

Unfortunately, I do not know where I took most of the following photos. Anyway, much of the västra stamban (the "western trunk line") leads through large pine forests:

?, 17.7.1989

Somewhere, I took two photos entering a station. Green over green means "Drive with 40 km/h, next signal might show stop":

Home signals, ?, 17.7.1989

A typical location for dwarf signals is at the outermost points:

Dwarf signals, ?, 17.7.1989

The following picture shows the home signals of Hallsberg. Green over green over green at the left signal means "Drive with 40 km/h, expect to stop in short track":

Home signal, Hallsberg, 17.7.1989

The following enlargement shows the reason for the short route: The track is occupied by another train. To the left of the track, one can recognize two dwarf signals indicating "proceed":

Occupied track, Hallsberg, 17.7.1989

Unfortunately, a bracing cable made it into this photo of retired Da locomotives (a widely-used Swedish electric class) and a small class Z65 shunting locomotive:

Hallsberg, 17.7.1989

In some track, I saw the following rail fasteners which I have not seen anywhere else:

Another track was fastened by good old spikes:

And finally, an Rc4:
