Veteran Railway Tour Debuts Around Lake Mälaren in Spring Weather
Key Points
  • A veteran railway tour debuted around Lake Mälaren in spring weather, pulled by a brown locomotive.
  • This was the first tour organized by the association FSVJ, with passengers picked up at stops including Eskilstuna and Stockholm.
  • The association plans to introduce an electric train to increase speed on future tours.

The tour around Lake Mälaren with the Association Sörmland's Veteran Railway had its premiere in brilliant spring weather, according to sources. The passengers were pulled forward by a real workhorse – a so-called brown locomotive. Veteran tours have gone around Lake Mälaren with steam locomotives in previous years and with other organizers, but this was the first time under the direction of the association FSVJ.

Pre-booked passengers were picked up at stops including Eskilstuna, Västerås, and Stockholm Central. The exact route and duration of the tour around Lake Mälaren have not been disclosed. " The association FSVJ plans to further develop the tour with an electric train to increase speed.

We thought that we further develop it with an electric train so we get up some speed.

Mikael Däckfors, Representative of FSVJ

Future dates or schedules for upcoming tours remain unknown.
