Sälen, Sweden’s largest skiddestination. Last winter, stood in the Lindvallen-Högfjället, Tandådalen-Hundfjället, the impact, and the parking lot at Kläppen together for nearly 30% of the total liftkortsomsättningen in Sweden.
However, those who want to get there at the disposal of his own car, bus, or plane. No train has gone for the Player since the late 60’s. Those who want to take the train, change to the bus stop in town, or the Mora.
most of the car, which means that the traffic on the road, against the Player is periodically congested.
“ It’s only a fraction of the visitors that do come with the car, to confirm, Jonas Bauer, destinationschef for Skistar in Sälen.
all the way up to the Seal, and feel that the hospitality industry is nedprioriterad when it comes to infrastructure, despite the fact that it plays a crucial role.
“ It is clear that you should be able to take the train to the Player. Had the Player been in a mine, it would have been by rail all the way and great roads. If the Seal remained in the Alps, it is of course possible to take a train to get there, “ he said.
to His Baker is committed to the mayor and to the chairman of the Sälen-Malung kommun. He spent more than a week about the issue of being able to open up the railway line to Seal it again.
“ My long-term goal is to have a rail line to Seal it again before my time as a politician, is the end of the year. I think it’s a realistic one. The climate change debate is not for the worse, “ says Baker.
until 1969, when the distance between Malung and Sälen was shut down. A couple of years later it was demolished in the ground-up. All the way up until december 2011, was to ride the train to Malung, about six miles from the Area.
the Maintenance of the so-called “ Västerdalsbanan between Borlänge and Malung, has been neglected for many years. His Baker has been heavily involved in the work of repairing and fixing up the track is a collaboration between the municipality, the business community and the state.
“ this past summer we were able to, against all odds, to re-open the track for the transportation of goods. At present, several trains a week, with a of timber, pulpwood, and wood chips. It is a great achievement, “ he said.

minister for infrastructure, Thomas Eneroth, was the one who was holding a knife when the track was re-opened on the 20th of August, in Malungsfors. He said that of the 7,500 fewer trucks along the route with the skogstransporter when the traffic is added all over on the trains, and the refurbishment has been a smart klimatinsats.
such A venture raises, of course, the jump in the area, and it can also provoke thoughts about the train, all the way up to the Seal. It is not unreasonable to think that this kind of thoughts, ideas, and dreams are where we can see that the interest for travelling by train is increasing, “ says Thomas Eneroth.
Martin, Drakenberg, business manager at each of the Trains in the Bergslagen region, and the line between Stockholm, sweden and Dalarna, sweden, also sees a number of obstacles in order for the trains to re-start the roll to the Seal, but do not want to say that it can’t be done.
“ In any case, is not the route to Malung. The next step is to get a new double-track line built in the last few miles up to the Player – is one of the a lot more men, “ he said.
He’ll also see some of the issues that must be addressed in order to re-run the passenger service on the Västerdalsbanan between Borlänge and Malung. The track is not electrified. This means that you will need to get a battery-powered train, or, better yet, a hydrogen-powered, in order to avoid having to run on diesel fuel. Another issue is the fact that it has been försökssträcka of the new signalling system, ERTMS, which will be introduced in Europe as a whole.
in order to enable the locomotives had to be rebuilt, at great expense, in order to be able to drive out there, “ says Martin, the Drakenberg.
see, two of the major barriers for the railway line to the Seal to be seen again. Secondly, the lack of tracks, all the way up to the Seal. Secondly, he argues that it is difficult to get finance in the säsongsstyrd traffic.
„We could not, in all conscience, be able to invest in a rail line to the Player when there are so many other priorities,“ he said.
the minister for infrastructure, Tomas Eneroth, think that it is hard to say whether it will be possible to take the train to the Seal.
“ When we did the priorities of the last national plan, the infrastructure was not there, the question is in the up position. The major resources are allocated to national initiatives in ° F and Rising, and, not least, the maintenance of the west and to the south of the main line, “ he said.
it should be possible to build a new rail line to the Area.
“ It’s an issue for the future. The municipality has in the past been the anticipation of the purchase of the whole of the old railway line to the north of Malungsfors.
this is the first part of the journey up to the Tandö, it would be pretty easy to add a new subject, think of His Baker. Thereafter, the sense be, as the part has become the road, and that it is in some places built close to the railway line.
“ We are now going to develop a new master plan for a new järnvägsstråk the last two, three or four miles, to the Seal part.
“ the One advantage of this is that the local authority is a major landowner. It makes it easier for us to swap the land with other land owners, in order to be able to pull up the embankment, “ he said.
His Baker argues that such an exercise must be carried out with non-traditional methods, in which the district is involved.
at the Skistar is entitled to have a new double-track line has not been a priority. Instead, the focus in recent years has been to an airport in Sälen. It will be officially opened on the 22nd of december.
“ We’ll get a war at a time. An airport is a lot easier than building a new rail line, “ he said.
