12:43 PM
A few people waiting for the commuter to Stockholm at the Krigslida platform yesterday afternoon. Roughly the same weather today, only one or two degrees warmer.

Indeed I was Grace. You have to cross one of the two tracks to get to and from the platform, there is of course two crossing gates, they were both open when I took the photo, the train was one minute away. The temperature today was 5C. And you can keep the cold. I did read in the paper today that the real Winter, although still without any snow were supposed to arrive next Saturday.

Great headline!!!!!
I clicked on my blogroll links so fast, I would have overtaken even a high-speed train. ;-)

The picture is great, too. Love all these lines, straight and curved, against a rather misty day.

Same here, dark fog all day. It may have been even darker at noon here than in your image.

P.S.:
I also love the lamps, as if standing sentinel to protect the travelers.

It is a very good composition, of course, but I feel badly about how gray the weather has been. You need some sun soon!

I can't figure out where you could have been standing with the camera out over the tracks. The station looks remarkably like those of the Calgary transit system we used last summer.

Pretty big dump of snow here on Sunday. After that, the coldest temperatures the central and eastern US has seen in 15 - 20 years.

I stood on the track Bob. It is a very tiny station, just a platform and two tracks. Rebuilt just a year ago. In fact they moved the platform a bit towards Tungelsta. You can enter from both sides. When a train is approaching, the crossing gates will close so there's no danger of being run over by the commuter which is the only train that uses the rail track.
