Lysekil Line

Tracks during the off-season near Gåseberg

... that when service was revived after 33 years on Sweden's Lysekil Line (pictured) in 2014, the train driver had to switch on the line's power himself? "Sandström fick hoppa ut, lägga om växeln och gå bort till stationshuset för att koppla på strömmen i kontaktledningen på bangården." "Nu går det att ta tåget till Lysekil', Göteborgs-Posten, June 19, 2014
- ALT1:... that a route with steeper grades was chosen during the construction of Sweden's Lysekil Line (pictured) because it was cheaper? Source: "Det ena förslaget, en bana med maxlutningar på 16 ‰, kostnadsberäknades till 2 650 000 kronor. Det andra förslaget avsåg en bana med maxlutningar på 25 ‰ och här slutade kostnaden på 2 400 000 kronor." Snabbfakta LyJ, Lysekils Järnväg

Comment: Sorry to be a bit late putting this in nomination (but as I type, where I am, it is still May 6, for another half hour),

This is a very nice article - well-written, nicely illustrated, interesting and comprehensive. It's new enough (just!), obviously long enough and reliably sourced. The hook is fine and is sourced as well. I think your first hook is preferable. Prioryman (talk) 12:56, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
