Godsstråket genom Bergslagen ( Swedish for: "Freight line through Bergslagen") is a standard-gauge, electrified, mostly single-track railway line in Sweden , which runs from Mjölby to Storvik through the Bergslagen region . Contrary to what the name might suggest, not only goods but also people are transported on all parts of the route. The name Godsstråket genom Bergslagen was given in the course of the renaming of all railway lines by the then railway authority Banverket in 1990. It is an artificial term that summarizes different route sections built at different times and by different operators.

Route sections

Godsstråket genom Bergslagen is made up of the following sections from north to south:

Hallsberg  - Mjölby	96 km	Dec 15, 1873	Hallsberg – Motala – Mjölby Järnväg (HMMJ)	Nationalized Nov. 1, 1879

history

The Swedish state railways built between 1856 and 1892 were all geared towards the capital Stockholm. For transports between northern and southern Sweden, however, the trip via Stockholm meant a time-consuming detour. That is why the then railway authority Järnvägsstyrelsen was commissioned in 1896 to develop a proposal for a direct connection between Krylbo on the then Norra stambanan and Örebro. From Örebro there was a state railway connection to Hallsberg an der Västra stambanan since 1862 .

Järnvägstyrelsen proposed a route that should cross the private Örebro – Köping railway line of Köping – Hults Järnväg (KUJ), which has existed since 1857 , and run east of Lake Väringen to Örebro. This would have led to a parallel run of the state and the KUJ route between Ullersäter and Örebro, only a few kilometers apart. The shareholders of the KUJ therefore decided in 1897 to offer the Örebro – Frövi section to the state for purchase. The Swedish Parliament decided in 1899 to accept the KUJ's offer to buy. The purchase was completed on January 1, 1900.

The construction of the new line to the south from Krylbo had already started in 1898. On June 1, 1899, the 35-kilometer Krylbo – Västanfors section was opened to general traffic. The Västanfors – Frövi line opened on December 12, 1999.

The private railway company Hallsberg – Motala – Mjölby Järnväg (HMMJ) was founded in 1871 on the initiative of the Motala Verkstad machine factory to transfer the factory and the city of Motala to both the Västra stambanan and the line then known as Östra stambanan (today: Södra stambanan) to connect. The construction work proceeded quickly and on December 15, 1873 the line was opened. The economic situation of the railway was bad from the beginning. However, the Swedish government considered the route to be so important that they nationalized the route on November 1, 1879.

Between 1932 and 1935, all sections of the route were electrified.

Between 1955 and 1968, all of the subsequent narrow-gauge lines were gradually shut down and dismantled. Only the Motala C – Holmsbruk section, which has been equipped with a three- rail track since 1960 , was used by standard-gauge trains until 1997.

In the course of the double-track expansion between Degerön and Mjölby, the winding section Degerön – Motala via Karlsby and Björken was replaced by a straightened route in October 2000.

Trafikverket is building a new crossing station at the former Ombenning stop to increase capacity between Storvik and Frövi. Construction began in May 2020 and commissioning is planned for autumn 2021.

The government has Trafikverket granted approval on 23 March 2020 to carry out the preparatory work for the double track expansion of sections Dunsjö-Jakobshyttan and Jakobshyttan-Degerön that a start of construction between 2020 and 2022 possible.

meaning

Godsstråket genom Bergslagen is of great importance for rail freight transport in Sweden for several reasons :

• The route connects several main routes, including the Södra , Västra and Norra stambanan , as well as secondary and connecting routes
• Freight trains to and from northern Sweden can use it to circumnavigate Stockholm
• One of the largest marshalling yards in Sweden is located at the Hallsberg railway junction
• Before they were shut down, numerous narrow-gauge railways, in particular the extensive network of Mellersta Östergötlands Järnväg (MÖJ), had connections to the line.

In order to be able to cope with the extensive freight traffic despite the predominant single-track traffic, a large part of the train stations, which have now been closed for passenger traffic, are still in operation for train crossings and overhauls.
