The earlier picture was taken in the 1920s, this is the same station in 1940.

You can see that the station house have been expanded, and the railroad has been electrified.

Both these buildings exist and are in use today, the large house is a successful toy shop and the old station house hosts a café.

I find pictures of Sweden from this time to be interesting as they look so peaceful while WWII was raging not only with Germany’s neighbors, but our neighbors as well, Finland fought the Soviet Union, Germany fought Norway and Denmark and we sat in the middle, escaping the horrors of war.
