Upsala-Lenna Jernväg, Heritage railway in Uppsala, Sweden.
Upsala-Lenna Jernväg is a narrow-gauge heritage railway connecting Uppsala to Faringe through the countryside, featuring restored steam locomotives and vintage railcars from multiple eras. Passengers board from track 10 at Uppsala Central Station or from additional stops along the route.
The railway opened in 1876 to transport iron ore from the Längbruk ironworks and improve regional connections. Its operation as a heritage museum preserves railway history spanning from the late 1800s onward.
The railway demonstrates how passengers once traveled through the countryside and how iron from local factories was moved, with preserved equipment showing regional transportation methods.
Board at Uppsala Central Station or at stops in Almunge and Faringe depending on your route preference. Plan your visit for weekends and warmer months when train services run most regularly.
Some locomotives date from the 1800s and retain their original design, while others were modified to fit the narrow gauge later on. This mix lets visitors observe different periods of railway engineering in one place.
