With Motorvagn 15 on the Saltsjöbaden railway.

LL996324
This is "Motorvagn 15" an electric motor car which was in regular service on this railway, Saltsjöbanan, between 1913 and 1976. In 1976 the old railroad cars were replaced by the modern blue trains which perhaps do not look as nice as the old ones. This is one of five cars which were not broken up, though it was sold off. It came back here in 1992.
Photos from the celebration "Saltsjöbadsdagarna" at the beginning of June, 1999.

The car was built at ASEA in Västerås in 1912. The electrical equipment was gradually modernized: a new motor, a new compressor and new control equipment were all installed during the 1940's and the 1950's.
Originally the car was equipped with bare wooden benches. The benches were upholstered in the 1930's.
