Content:
Here I have collected three of my trips to Nynäshamn, two of them by steam train. |
2, Steam train museum:Old technology like steam locomotives are exiting. At a steam train museum you can get to know how it works and have a look at them in details. One train museum is the Nynäshamn railway museum. Google Map over the railway from Älvsjö to Nynäshamn railway museum:From Älvsjö to Nynäshamn railway museum, Sweden 2007 |
Nynäshamn's Railway museum:
We took the train from Älvsjö station to get to the museum. Already at the outside of the railway museum we see the supply they have of spare parts. 
At one place there are a lot of wagons, maybe something they plan to renovate in the future. 
The entrance to the railway museum. 
In one of the garage we found this steam locomotive. Information about steam locomotive SJ E 1189:
Manufactured already in year 1912. Operating weight is impressive, 70.2 tons. Top speed 90 km/h and they built 99 of them. Information about steam locomotive SJ B 1136:
Mechanism that connect the cylinder to the wheel. If you want to know more about how a steam locomotive works you can find more informations here:
Inside one of the wagons, looks like the one I traveled with two years earlier. 
We got the opportunity to see what's under the train. The chassi is built of heavy steel parts. Here you can see how the brakes are constructed. |

Workshop:
To have the trains working they need a workshop to repair broken parts. 
This steam locomotive looks to be much older. The sign SJ stands for Statens Järnvägar (Goverment's Railroads). Information about steam locomotive SJ N 1169:
One of the workers told us that they have to replace the tubes in this boiler. A very dirty and time consuming work, and they work for free ! 
The black smiths place, the smithy. My grand father was a black smith so it's always interesting to see the environmont where they work. 
The machine on the wheels is a welding machine. 
A lathe and other things that is hard to see in the dark. 
A sign warning us for the trains, you enter this area on your own risk. 
Warning petroleum product, 12.7 tons flammable liquids. |
One more train carriage, need some new paint. 
Before painting the rust must be removed. It's like my old cars I had, just bigger. 
The garages and the turning platform in front. I have seen one of them in work earlier, it was powered by steam. 
Spare part wheels, lot of them. 
Even more of them. Notice the balance weight that is welded to the rim of the wheel. 
A big diesel locomotive hide under the cover. For sure the one I saw two years ago at Nynäshamn's railway station. Information about diesel locomotive SJ T21 90 och 108:
They have their own sign NJM here, Nynäshamn Railroad Museum. 
More work to do, where do they get all people for this work to be done ? |
Trains version of bumpers. 
There are not only trains here, we found an old bus in one of the garage. Looks like them I traveled with in the 1960s. Is it a Volvo or a Scania ? Looking closer to the sign and it says: A Scania Vabis VB 62, built 1953 and it take 38 passengers. It was used until 1959. 
Inside the bus, very familiar environment for me. 
In the big workshop hall there is an intensive work to maintain one of the locomotives. An exiting day, and I think my sister's son who joined me this day felt that too. Information about electric locomotive SNJ ÄF 10:
If I inspired you enough you will look at this page to plan for a visit at the Nynäshamn's railway museum:
