I have posted pictures of Roslagsbanan before, but this station means a lot to me.

This is my home station, where I grew up between 1993 or so until I moved out from the area in 2014.

Roslagsbanan itself means a lot to me and my dad, we are both interested in trains, my dad worked on Roslagsbanan at the start of his career which turned him into a highly technical sales man for railroad systems.

I took a different path with my career and work in IT instead, but I commuted on the railroad and both me and my dad have been active in the heritage railroad society in Uppsala that uses part of the old Roslagsbanan network.

I have written about the railroad in older posts, so I won't go into details here, but I can tell you about the station.

The station has been rebuilt several times, changing track and plattform layouts as needed.

The station house was expanded since this photo was taken, at one point it was a classic waiting room for trains, then i was closed for many years, and have for a decade plus now been a nice café, the top floor is a private domicile.

The mast thing you can see in the background is a railway semafor signal.

I will post more stuff as I find it.
