Building constructor and engineer Nils Norén went through tough negotiations with the farmers to buy the land were the station was to be built. About 100 hectares ware needed, however, the farmers were accommodating and even offered him various alcoholic beverages with coffee. For the farmers, it was paramount not to offer a too low or indeed too high a price to their land in comparison to their neighbors. Therefore, at the end of the day, engineer Norén “was in a really pleasant mood”.
