1925: The Inauguration of a Railway Station in Sweden

December 17, 1925

In the northern part of Sweden, a major railway station in the city of Sundsvall was first opened. The Sundsvall Central Station was designed by Folke Zettervall (1862-1955), who served from 1895 to 1930 as head architect for the government agency known as the Swedish State Railways.

The Sundsvall Central Station remains in operation today. This facility is a terminal station for the East Coast Line, a 250-mile (402-kilometer)-long mainline railway between Sundsvall and Sweden’s capital city of Stockholm; the 222-mile (358-kilometer)-long Central Line, a railway route that links Sundsvall with the village and ski resort of Storlien; and the 114-mile (184-kilometer)-long Ådalen Line, a railway line between Sundsvall and the locality of Långsele.
