The Kumla – Yxhult railway line ( Kumla – Yxhults Järnväg ) is a standard-gauge Swedish railway line . When it went into operation on November 12, 1883, the six-kilometer route was privately owned and was used to transport limestone. Today it leads from Kumla to Kvarntorp and is eight kilometers long.

history

The builder of the line was the private Yxhults stenhuggeriaktiebolag , which the railway needed to transport limestone. The route was opened for general public freight traffic on December 24, 1885. The line was gradually expanded, first for the lime industry around 1900, then in 1942 for the Swedish Shale Oil Corporation ( Swedish Svenska skifferoljeaktiebolaget ) in Kvarntorp. This section of the route was opened for freight traffic on November 1, 1942.

In 1945/1946 the first Ytong plant was connected in Hynneberg . The Ytong AB took over the route in 1954 and sold it in 1973 to the Yxhult AB on.

In the mid-1980s, Sakab , a company in Kvarntorp, was affiliated. This company handles the disposal of hazardous waste and the treatment of contaminated surfaces as well as industrial and household waste.

traffic

Over the years, the company has used nine steam locomotives to operate the line . The first of these was delivered by Kristinehamns Mekaniska Verkstad in 1883.

The last steam locomotives were to 31 May 1964 in use, they were by 1964 by Kalmar Verkstad built diesel locomotive of the type SJ Z65 ( KYJ Z65 10 replaced).

Passenger traffic began on March 26, 1943, when many commuters from Kumla had to be transported to Kvarntorp. The maximum speed on the route has been increased from 30 to 50 km / h. Passenger traffic ceased on November 1, 1954. Freight traffic from Yxhult to Hynneberg ended in 1980.

The line was owned by Yxhult AB until April 30, 1983 , which it sold to the state for SEK 700,000 . The management was from May 1, 1983 to June 30, 1988 Statens Järnvägar (SJ). Since then, the route has been managed by Banverket and, since 2010, by Trafikverket . Örebro County has been responsible for freight traffic since July 1st, 1988 .

The main traffic today is provided by the transports to and from Sakab , the trains run on the siding between Kumla and Närkes Kvarntorp without official speed information.
