See my earlier post about what Djursholmsbanan is!

This is a christmas postcard showing a drawing of a train car on Djursholmsbanan during christmas.

Djursholm is and was a very affluent suburb of Stockholm, this is why the people in the drawing are dressed in fancy clothing.

It is interesting that you can see the pantograph on the roof of the train car, that shows that electrical trains were in use already in 1906.

The artist is unknown, but the photo is licensed CC-BY-NCS

Thanks for looking into it! I bet that also made more sense when clothes were much more expensive, even outerwear.
