Railroad Workers in Sweden

[Carl Smarling]

I have a banvakt and his family living in Vaktstugan #939 in Stigåsa Vestra, just to the south of Stockaryd in Jönköpings län.  The time is the 1880-1890's.
 
I would like to know the following:
 
1.  What was the work involved?
2.  Are there special records for railroad workers?  If yes, how do you get them?
3.  What was a vaktstugan like?
4.  Is there still a place 939 on the rail line?
 
And of course, anything else.
 
Thanks very much,  Carl Smarling

Hi Carl!!
 
Take a look at this page http://w1.541.telia.com/~u54104889/jvg/banvaktstugor/landafors.html...this is an old picture of a banvaktsstuga in Landafors, Segersta, Gävleborgs län. I have better pictures but only this one is published on the net, and it's connected to my research.
I can help you with your other questions to since my boyfriend knows alot about these things...:-)
I need some time for some research though, so send me an e-mail and I'll get back to you, hopefully with som answers.
