Tearing down the house

Tearing down the house

This was once a yellow cottage at Allevägen in Tungelsta. The cottage a few weeks ago, seen from the commuter station. Bigger photo. The railway line, Nynäsbanan between Västerhaninge and Nynäshamn was closed for a few weeks this summer. Stone crushing machines were blasting a hill nearby to extract crude rock for a new road and make room for a second rail track. The platform at the station will be 240 meters long when the work is done here sometimes next year.

Yep! You can't stop progress, so they say. They just torn down a beautiful house near us to make way for a grocery store.

They could have moved this little cottage, but the property changed owner a year ago so they were aware of the situation when they bought the place.

Sad that they have to tear the cottage down but it's going to be good when the trains are working!
