Absolutely love this. Nice looking train route. And really like the train depot/stations.

Thansk a lot. I joined the railroad club 1972 and have been an active member during 16 years. It runns along the lake Anten and the view is really beautiful. More trees and bushes will be cut down as they shadow the lake. The main station in Anten had 3 tracks 1971 when they started. The storage yard was started 1972. I was one of the guys hand nailing the first track. Thank You for watching and writing.

Прекрасное состояние рельсов, спасибо за видео!

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

Yes, they have been intensively maintained during several years. Thank you for watching and commenting.

@@Stefan_Boerjesson Рад что вам понравилось, вся наша семья работала машинистами и монтерами пути. Не я железную дорогу выбрал, она меня просто не отпускает.

[@SteamCoal]

@@Stefan_Boerjesson Я в своем родном городе много лет продвигал проект парковой железной дороги 750мм протяженностью 8км. Собрать средства не удалось. Но я радуясь за тех, кому это удалось. Строю у себя на участке трек длиной 70 метров, а дальше в мир мечты.

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

@@SteamCoal This railroad was opened the year 1900 and ran until 1970-71. After that the club rented it for many years and finally bought it.

Beautiful views 💙

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

They surely are. Trimming the forest hiding the lake is a newly started project. Thank You for watching and writing.

Was waiting to see what safe operating procedures are. I noticed the signals at one station. There was no ‘staff or ticket’ and no obvious absolute block.

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

One important detail is not visible. That is that in the timetable the drivers use it states when the trains meet in Anten and in Kvarnabo. The procedure is a 100 year old state railway procedure. What in particular did You of? Thank You for watcing and writing.

Västergötland-Göteborgs Järnvägar

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

Det stämmer, fram till 1970-71. Då gick sista tåget på den här sträckan.

[@davebowman6497]

..och nu Anten-Gräfsnäs (Musei-)Järnväg, eller hur?

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

@@davebowman6497 Nej. Föreningens namn är Anten Gräfsnäs Järnväg. Den startade som Stora Lundby Järnvägs....... men bytte till AGJ ganska tidigt.

[@ccrx6700]

Really cool ride down track i liked it ❤👍😎

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

Thanks. The speed used is some 30 mph and the rail length is some 70' so You can clock it and check. Thank You for watching and writing.

[@gernotkwaschnievski5901]

Eine so runtergekommene Infrastruktur hätte ich eher in Polen/Baltikum vermutet als in Schweden...

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

Was ist es, das ausgefallen ist? Dies ist eine denkmalgeschützte Veteranenbahn, die nicht verändert werden darf.

[@MarcoGotthardt72]

COOL TRAIN ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

Thank You for watching and writing. The train housing the camera is a 1957 diesel rail car, carrying 44 sitting passengers and unknown number of people standing. The cargo train loco is the same old. Originally it was built for 802 mm tracks but was built to be convertible, among others to our 891 mm track.

[@bester36]

Is this regular service or heritage tourist only?

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

The trains run from June to August, and special Christmas trains in the end of November, beginning of December. It's a vereran railroad operated by volounteers. You can lok at AGJ 'dot' net. Thank You for watching and writing.

[@dony1065]

where is this located? the scenery and environment is similar to the far east.

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

it's located in the south west of Sweden. Have a look at agj "dot" net! Thank You for looking and asking.

[@Peasmouldia]

It would be so simple to use a token block system, which they obviously don't do. So is this a "one train on line" railway? Ta.

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

@@Peasmouldia Yes. Only one train is allowed on the line. In the timetable for the driver it states when there is a train to meet. If that other train has not arrived the train driver will not start what ever sign he is given. Tokens have not ever been used in Sweden as far as I know.

[@martinheene7784]

Is it a 1000mm track?

[@s-1-g410]

891 mm

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

That's correct, 3 Swedish feet, 297 millimeter, shorter then the Imperial foot being 304.8 milimeter.

[@Sam_Green____4114]

I didn't see the exchange of a token or a signal pulled off to enter a single line ,just the wave of a white bat by somebody on the ground ! Is this safe ?

[@HugeRademaker]

How many trains do you expect to use this line?

[@Sam_Green____4114]

@@HugeRademaker The one coming the other way ?

[@HugeRademaker]

@@Sam_Green____4114 🤦🏻‍♂️ Did you miss it in the video? The trains just met each other. There's a very solid system that works by the procedure of calling the next station.

[@Sam_Green____4114]

@@HugeRademaker Is it safe though ?

[@HugeRademaker]

@@Sam_Green____4114 As a train engineer myself I can assure you that a train doesn't depart if it isn't safe.
