Upsala-Lenna Jernväg 100 År

The Upsala-Lenna Jernväg 100 År record was produced in 1976 to commemorate the centenary of the Upsala-Lenna Jernväg, a historic narrow-gauge railway in Sweden. The recording features collaborative efforts from the Uppsala Blåsorkester and the Uppsala Arbetaresångkör, with contributions from Jan Löfgren and Sven Timner. Created as a celebratory project, the album serves as a musical documentary intended to capture the heritage and atmosphere of the steam-era rail line during its significant anniversary.

The design and production reflect the local dedication to the preservation of the railway, which had transitioned from a commercial transport utility to a popular heritage line by the 1970s. As a private, non-label release, the record was likely intended for local distribution among railway enthusiasts and residents of the Uppsala region. It remains a niche piece of local industrial and musical history, documenting the cultural intersection between the preservationist movement and the regional arts community.
