Gotland Hesselby railway, Heritage railway museum in Dalhem, Sweden

Gotland Hesselby railway is a working heritage railway operating vintage trains on a restored route across the island. The site features original station buildings, multiple locomotives and passenger cars, along with maintenance facilities and period structures.

The Slite–Roma railway, whose embankment the museum line follows, closed in 1958 and all rail traffic on Gotland ended in 1960. In 1963 the steam locomotive SJ N5p 3073 (former DALHEM no. 3) and six carriages were placed as a monument at Romakloster station. Volunteers founded Föreningen Gotlandståget on 4 February 1972 in Visby and bought the Hesselby station area; the first museum train ran in 1978, the centenary of Gotland's railways.

The heritage line is run by Föreningen Gotlandståget, founded in Visby on 4 February 1972, and its volunteers still operate the trains. The season closes with Museijärnvägens Dag, when several trains run and cross at Tule station. The year's busiest event is the Tomtetåg, which drew over 2,000 passengers in 2013 and 2014.

Train rides are only available during the summer season, so plan your visit accordingly for the operating months. Wear sturdy shoes as the site involves walking on historic tracks and uneven ground throughout the property.

The station building at Hesselby had served as a sheep barn before the association restored it to its original appearance. The goods warehouse of the Gotländska Lantmännens Centralförening, built in 1939, now holds a railway museum on the history of Gotland's railways.
