Roma

The station building now at Roma was originally that from Österport Halt in Visby. It had been a hunter's forest shelter for decades before being moved, restored and then re-opened in 2015. Roma village had been a hub for two of Gotland's railways and originally had a much bigger station building.
The runround loop extends to a headshunt over a level crossing off to the right of picture. There is a bay platform whose buffer stop is visible to the left of the platform bench. There are plans to rebuild the turntable on its original site and build a new water tower in the grey area on the left centre of the shot.
