4 of 9A Nightly Walkabout

Going past the two Årsta bridges and looking at them from the south-east side one gets a view toward Hornstull under the span. The rightmost bridge is the old Årsta bridge, and the scaffolding used for restoration and preservation efforts can be seen lit up at the far end of the bridge. It is currently used for commuter trains, while the long-distance trains are routed over the new bridge, whose slim shape stands in sharp contrast to the heavy framework of the old. The view from southbound commuter trains during sunrise is quite a sight. The train is high enough so that you see over the sides of the bridge, and since the train itself is on the east (trains go on the left-hand tracks) track, you see a beautiful sunrise over the water.
