Rusty steel really gives a nice and warm tint at sunset. Late autumn and in winter time, the low azimuth gives long shadows, even from the rivet heads.

The traffic on the 100 km branch line Sala-Gysinge-Gävle de-facto ended in 1964 and most of the track was lifted in 1971-72. The axle load restriction of just 12 tons (mainly due to these light bridges) made this shortcut through mid-Sweden less useful, and over time the line became an insignificant branch, passing mainly through sparsely populated countryside. The final years, the speed limit over the bridges was just 20 kph (10 kph for freights!!), and it has been said that even at low speed, the bridges were rattling violently when a train passed. Most of the track bed and the bridges over river Dalälven from 1900 at Gysinge have been left "as is" and are now open for pedestrians. At Gysinge, there are two major crossings over the river, each having the same style of light bow truss bridges, all proudly marked with the manufacturer's sign "Gothenburg mechanic workshop 1900"

The river Dalälven has several bifurcations in this area, forming massive swamps. Even with massive embankments built, three bridge clusters had to be built over almost 1 km of difficult terrain.
