Köping–Uttersberg–Riddarhyttan Railway, Railroad heritage site in Köping Municipality, Sweden

The Köping-Uttersberg-Riddarhyttan line extends 46 kilometers through central Sweden, connecting multiple industrial towns from Köping to Riddarhyttan.

Built in 1864, the railway operated with an unusual gauge of 1,093 millimeters due to a construction error that proved more economical to maintain than correct.

The railway system connects several towns in central Sweden, reflecting the industrial development and transportation needs of mining communities in the region.

Visitors can explore the former engine house in Riddarhyttan, which now functions as a café and provides information about the railway's operations.

This narrow-gauge railway operated independently until 1911, when the Uttersberg-Riddarhyttan segment merged with the Köping-Uttersberg line to form one system.
