We take the afternoon train to Stockholm. While waiting for the night train to the north, do we sit at "Hyllan" with coffee and study the people that hurry to and from the trains. Our train is invaded by soldiers in the swedish army. They are on their way to their duty at K4 in Arvidsjaur. They are hungry and fill up the restaurant wagon. We buy food in the restaurant but eat it at our places in the sleeping wagon.
