Mellerud–Arvika railway

The Mellerud-Arvika railway extends 163 kilometers through the regions of Dalsland and Värmland, featuring 13 stations and 14 loading areas along its route.

Construction of the railway began in 1914 by Dal-Västra Värmlands Järnvägsaktiebolag, with different sections opening between 1923 and 1928 due to post-World War I economic challenges.

The railway operates alongside the Dalsland Canal, integrating transportation infrastructure with the waterway system that shaped local industrial development.

The foundation Dal-Västra Värmlands Järnväg maintains the Billingsfors to Bengtsfors segment and manages summer tourist train operations with Y7 railcars.

Visitors can combine train travel with boat trips on the Dalsland Canal, accessing 41 monitored level crossings and 11 bridges throughout the railway system.
