Stockholm Östra station - pre 1932 seen from Valhallavägen - modern comparison in the description

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.zip/post/58460654

This area looks completely different today, the old station building was replaced in 1932 by a multistory building complex.

This is where the modern day Roslagsbanan terminates in the city, current plans are to close the station completely and move the line a different route under the city, which I find sad, I like the isolated nature of the railroad, it has always made me feel just ever so slightly safer late at night…

I can’t really give that much more backstory of this photo, as I have had trouble finding more info about it.

I did mention that I would post a modern comparison from roughly the same view, and this is a Street View from roughly the same direction:
