Älvsjö, Stockholm, Sweden

A Stockholm, Sweden commuter rail X60 train (Alstom Coradia Nordic) on the then J35 (Bålsta - Nynäshamn) line arriving at and leaving from the Älvsjö station. It was a cold day, if I recall correctly between -10 to -20°C (-5 to 15°F) and there was about 1 or 2 centimeters (1/4 to 1/2 inch) of powdery snow.

00:00 Warning signal at crossing (for commuter train employees only) with train arriving in background.
00:21 Footsteps in cold thin snow layer
00:25 Squealing as the train comes to a stop
00:36 Doors opening
00:41 Driver announcing that the train will depart for Stockholm central station and Bålsta station
00:55 Warning sound before doors are closing and more footsteps
00:58 Doors closing
01:11 Squealing as the train start to roll

Recorded Friday December 18, 2009, 10:01 am (UTC + 1 h), with the built in mic of a Canon Digital IXUS 950 IS camera (which could be used to record audio only). File straight off from the camera with the exception of iD3 tags added with foobar2000 v1.3.4.
