The Böda Skogsjärnväg was a narrow-gauge railway that ran between 1909 and 1959 in the Kronopark of Böda in the north of the Swedish island of Öland .
history
Between 1908 and 1909 the State Forestry Administration built a 27 km long route network for timber transport. In the beginning the wagons were pulled by horses. In 1910 the four-axle Mormor steam locomotive (curb weight 8 t) took over operation.

In 1959 the railway was completely shut down after the branch lines to Grankulla and Tell were closed in 1954. Locomotives, wagons and rails were scrapped. Only the MORMOR was received for posterity from the local history association Nässjö .
Föreningen Böda Skogsjärnväg
The Föreningen Böda Skogsjärnväg association was founded on July 21, 1974 with the aim of securing, preserving and rebuilding a section of the route that was valuable in terms of railway history.
The Sveaskog State Forestry Administration made the embankment between Fagerrör and Trollskogen available to the association free of charge. The reconstruction could be started in the same year. In 1978 the first section was opened to traffic and in 1994 the end station Trollskogen was reached. After 20 years of service at Ohsabanan , the MORMOR came back to Öland in 1990 and took over museum trains.
