Asphalt Paver
I can't remember how much work has been done do the commuter station in Tungelsta over the last decade, but it is a lot. And I have been trying my best to document that and other rail-road-related work in a photo album called Nynäsbanan, which is the name of the railway line between Stockholm and Nynäshamn. But it now looks like they are finishing up here. Took this photo a few days ago when the workers were busy paving the road in front of the station, and also fixing a new parking area. So if you enjoy construction photos have a look at the Nynäsbanan slideshow.
Your photo reminded me of the time I took my dad to London about 17 years ago. We were walking along a street and I was talking to dad when I turned and he wasn't there. I turned around and found him back a way talking to the workmen who were paving a street. Dad was fascinated by the way they were doing their work so he stopped to talk to them about it. Thanks for jarring that fond memory!
Asfalteringsarbete måste vara för de värmetåligare i människosläktet. Inget för mig med andra ord. Rimligtvis borde sträckningen från Stockholm till Nynäshamn föra med sig många resenärer, åtminstone vår- och sommarmånaderna, med tanke på Gotlandstrafiken och turistströmmarna till ön. Det ständiga putsandet på stationen i Tungelsta kan jag däremot inte bygga några teorier kring :-)
Nice to see the work in progress

ReplyDeleteI can just imagine the noise- and the smell of the asphalt.
