Railway Museum of Grängesberg

The Railway Museum of Grängesberg occupies a locomotive depot from 1928 and displays numerous historic trains, wagons, and technical equipment across its exhibition halls. The site documents how rail operations functioned in this region.

The museum was established in 1979 and preserves regional mining heritage through its collection of locomotives that transported iron ore from nearby mines. These vehicles were essential to the area's economic development.

The museum shows how railway workers lived and worked across generations through photographs, tools, uniforms, and personal stories from their daily lives. These collections tell of the people who made train operations possible in this region.

Visitors can explore locomotives, wagons, and technical equipment while moving through various exhibition areas. Guided tours help you understand how the vehicles operated and their role in transport.

The museum houses the rare operational steam turbine locomotive Ljungström M3t nr 71 from 1930. This special machine was capable of hauling heavy loads on steep mountain grades, making it a remarkable achievement in locomotive engineering.
