business

In 1991 the newly founded Österlentåg AB took over the freight traffic on the section Köpingebro - Simrishamn from the Swedish State Railways . However, in 1994 Österlentåg AB became insolvent.

In 1996, Ystad station was electrified as part of the electrification of the Malmö – Ystad railway line. It was then decided to electrify the section to Simrishamn as well. Preparations for this began in 2001. The following summer, the route was completely closed and renewed. On September 20, 2003, electrical operations began on the line when it reopened.

The line became part of the Pågatåg regional train network. The traffic is carried out by Skånetrafik . Type X61 railcars will operate in 2019 . Since the closure of the sugar factory in Köpingebro in 2006, there has been no more freight traffic on the route.
