On the way to the maintenance base – Mostly in the regional traffic, there are still many locomotive-hauled passenger trains consisting mainly of Rc6 locomotives and Class B7 passenger carriages. B7s are the most common carriages in Sweden, Kalmar Verkstads AB produced 171 of them for SJ between 1979 and 1990. Most of them are painted black now but a few carriages still have their previous light blue livery with a red stripe. The train in the photo runs on a track far from the platforms. It is not a commercial train, just an operational one, heading to Hagalund railway yard where the maintenance of the vehicles takes place. (Stockholm, Karlberg, 13 July 2012, 8:30 CET)
