Sweden - If Harry Potter was your travel agent

In the village of Jädraås there is a really large museum. Actually it is a very long and narrow museum in the form of an antique railroad where steam trains still roam.  Several times a day during the summer you can travel the three miles to Tallås where you take a 30 minute break before the return trip. 
Before you get on the train you stop at an old-school ticket office. An old-school station master waves the train off. An old-school train conductor collects your tickets. You get the idea!
There's nothing like the smell of burning coal to build up an appetite for Aunt Anna's cinnamon rolls at the end station while they turn the locomotive around for the trip back. 
No wizards were spotted on this train though.
