After the walk in Katrineholm we go back to the train, we don't want to miss the departure.

Locomotive garage:

A few hundred meters from Katrineholm's railway station there is a locomotive garage that we want to see.

A power outlet for the parked trains.

Ouu ... we see that they have a lot of work to do here.

Maria:
The stalls are now renovated and are called the "Perrong". Allowance for you between grade 7 and 25 years …

The railway turntable, they use it to direct the locomotive to correct garage. I have somewhere read that they sometimes are powered by steam. I don't know if this one is that.
