Track map for Stockholm-Uppsala

This map shows the line between Stockholm and Uppsala. Until 1999 the only line went via Märsta; but in 1999 a new detour via Stockholm's international airport Arlanda opened.

The Arlanda line (between Skavstaby and Myrbacken) is not owned by the national infrastructure agency Banverket, but by the private comany A-Train which also operates the Arlanda Express shuttle trains between Stockholm C (tracks 1 and 2) and Arlanda.

The railway goes below the airport in tunnels blasted through the bedrock. The "Arlanda Norra" and "Arlanda Södra" stations are used by Arlanda Express; other passenger trains call at Arlanda C. Most long-distance trains stop at Arlanda C; local trains between Stockholm and Uppsala serve either Arlanda or Märsta, apparently according to the principle that the train that goes from Stockholm to Uppsala just when my plane has landed must go via Märsta.

The Arlanda Express tickets are fairly expensive (there's a surcharge for passengers to/from Arlanda C as well, but you can ride the through tracks without supplements as long as you stay in the train at Arlanda), so I'm not completely sure of the track layout between Arlanda Södra and the through tracks. What I've showed here is the best guess that fits my observations from riding Arlanda-Stockholm once.

The map for the freight area in the south end of Uppsala is incomplete; I'm working on gradually improving it. There is also a narrow-gauge museum railway to Faringe which has its own platforms beyond track 7 at Uppsala.

North of Uppsala the line splits into two single-track lines. One goes towards Gävle and northern Sweden in general, the other goes towards Sala and Avesta.
