In Traces of Passion, photographer and writer Staffan Ekengren presents an intimate and contemporary portrait of the Hultsfred-Västervik narrow-gauge railway and the people around it. The railway is also a listed building and has the status of one of Sweden's twelve industrial monuments, a strong tourist attraction and experience for visitors. Traces of Passion is a story about how passion and spirit make the railway possible, but also about how it brings joy to people locally, nationally and even internationally. The book has been favourably received by several reviewers, including Tåg magazine: "Buy, read and enjoy - the book is highly recommended!" - Leif Elgh, Tidningen Tåg, June 2022
