The Halmstad – Nässjö railway is a 196-kilometer standard-gauge railway in Sweden . It was built by Halmstad – Jönköpings Järnvägsaktiebolag (HJJ), a private railway company , between Halmstad and Nässjö .
The route was built in sections. On December 21, 1882, the entire route between Halmstad and Nässjö was opened to public transport. The Halmstad – Jönköpings Järnvägsaktiebolag was declared bankrupt on January 26, 1885 and dissolved on June 17, 1885 in Halmstad. On June 29, 1885, Halmstad – Nässjö Järnvägsaktiebolag (HNJ) was founded, which continued to operate the line.
Halmstad – Nässjö Järnvägsaktiebolag
The new company worked better than the previous company. Industrial companies settled on the route, which in turn improved the business base. The company's existing main line Halmstad – Nässjö was either built by the company itself or bought in over the next few years, creating one of the largest private route networks in Sweden at the time.

traffic
The Halmstad-Nässjö Järnvägsaktiebolag pioneered the first high-speed railcars trains in Sweden. The Halmstad – Nässjö and Halmstad – Falköping routes were served from 1938 onwards with three red, four-axle railcars. These railcars drove speeds of up to 110 km / h and were the country's first express railcar trains. The travel time between Halmstad and Nässjö was reduced by around an hour to three hours. The current travel time is only 20 minutes less.
The express railcars were taken over by the SJ as Yo2 536 to 538 and used for direct traffic between Halmstad and Oskarshamn via Nässjö. In the 1960s, the trains were Y6 / Y7 - railcars replaced. Between 1968 and 1974 locomotive-hauled passenger trains ran, which were driven by diesel locomotives of the T43 series and which also carried through coaches to Stockholm . In the 1980s, rail buses were replaced by class Y1 railcars . Today, trains from Krösatågen , a regional train system in Jönköpings Lan , run between Halmstad and Nässjö . Since December 2010, the management is done for by the County contracted transport services by DSB Småland AB . Modern multiple units of the Y31 and Y32 series are used as trains.
The freight traffic is carried out today by Green Cargo with diesel locomotives of the T44 series on the route from Halmstad to Torup, the trains continue to run on the Torup – Hyltebruk route as a blocked route . Freight services also serve Smålandsstenar, Smålands Burseryd and Brännögård, and the freight train runs on the Vaggeryd – Nässjö section.
