Nr 3909, Central Railroad Station, Stockholm, about 1909
Stockholm C in June 2014. David A Anderson photograph
A big difference between the 1909 postcard and 2014 is the presence of the statue to Nils Ericson in front of the railroad station. It was formerly in Järnvägsparken just to the South of the railroad station until the early 1970s when new Construction for a highway interchange basically covered the park.
