This is the first central control room of the Stockholm Metro, it controlled what is now known as the green line.

Before this central facility, there were two control rooms as the Stockholm Metro had started as two separate systems which were later connected.

For those who want to learn more about the history of communications (with a focus on radio) used in public transport in Stockholm, I recommend this (Swedish) website, it is very informative:

As for the photo I linked, it is licensed CC-BY-NC, sadly the original photographer is unknown at this time.
