Another junction: At Arvidsjaur, we changed into the train to the east, because our next youth hostel was at Skellefteå. Here is my only picture of Arvidsjaur's interlocking panel:

Why I photographed the station building through the stakes of a wagon, I do not know:

A tracklaying gang was replacing ties, with one of their rail trucks parked:

Here is the machine used for replacing ties:

It is first used to pull out rotten ties from below the track:

On the other hand, it also pushes the replacement tie under the rails:

As there is no coarse ballast used for station tracks, the tie is simply lifted up, then the rail is spiked to it—that's it:

At last, something more interlocking related—a set of points checking contacts:
