Nora is a small town in lake and woodland roughly 250 km west of Stockholm and is sited on a lake of the same name. The first normal gauge railway in Sweden was opened to the public in 1856 between Nora and Ervalla. The station is today a museum railway, worked by a preservation society. A separate platform is used by railcars which do the long Inlandsbana run from here to Gällivare in the north in summer.
The YB06 diesel railbus or railcar seen here was built in 1956 by the company AB Svenska Järnvägsverkstaderna (ASJ) in Linkoping, Sweden.
