Varberg–Borås–Herrljunga (order #
TAM28) Many people came to ride the vintage trains between Varberg and Herrljung from the time when grandfather were young. This is a line that has been electrified for many decades with very few steam extras through the years. Diesels and electric locos help the steam engines in the very warm weather due to great fire hazard. |
Far som farfar -- Go like Grandfather” was a vintage train day to remember. Many
people wanted to ride the vintage trains, and trains were overcrowded. BJs –
Bergslagen railway society cooperated with the regional traffic
administrations and the local folklore societies along the line who arranged
entertainment at the stations. The tickets could therefore be used on the
vintage trains as well as on the regular EMU. It had also been decided that
people dressed in vintage clothes got the fare for half price.
A train from Varberg to Borås started in the morning, and one trans
started in Borås to later turn in Herrljunga. Both trains meet in Borås in the
middle of the day. The station were crowded by all travellers, and locals wanted
to see the trains in the beautiful weather. The trains then made one further
trip each. The steam locos B No. 130 and E2 No. 1333 hauled one train each. Due
to great fire hazard in the warm weather they got help from the diesels T21 Nos.
70 and 107 in on of the trains, and electro loco Du2 No. 384 in the other
trains. The vintage electro loco also hauled on trains from Varberg to Borås.
On the DVD we follow the trains along the line, from train window,
from drivers cab, parallell footage from car and also at the arrangements at the
