Morgongåva
The older style Upptåget arrives on its way to Sala from Uppsala. These units were, until late 2019, also used on the route north from Uppsala when they were gradually replaced by the newer Stadler double deckers see image 74451.
The northern mainline is still mainly single track with passing loops at some stations and recently lengthened 775m freight loops. Upptåget and longer-distance SJ passenger services cannot be run more frequently without major loop-building and resignalling. The modern name for the line is Dalabanan.
The minimal shelters are fairly typical of recently (re)built Swedish stations.
The village place-name means Morning Gift which is what it was at one time.
