Stenbacken

A fairly normal evening at Stenbacken, where Dm3 1229-1244-1230 "Rektorn" slows down for stop at the side track. This, and the following half hour looks as:

17.38 Eastbound "Rektorn" arrives from Narvik with empty train
17.48 Eastbound SSRT Rc6 1330 passes with Connex train 93 from Narvik
18.00 Westbound SSRT Rc6 1328 passes with Connex train 10096 from Kiruna
18.11 Westbound IORE 105 "Narvik" and 106 "Kiruna" passes with a loaded train from Kiruna
18.18 Rektorn gets clear and proceeds to Torneträsk

For some reason, several three-track meeting stations have recently been converted to two tracks only. It seems like the freedom of the planners in Boden has been somewhat reduced to arrange rational operations, and it is no wonder why MTAB wants to get rid of the passenger trains.
