history

Krylbo was established as a railway junction in the 19th century. The then state-owned main line Norra stambanan from Stockholm and Uppsala reached Krylbo in 1873 and was continued to Storvik in 1874 . A private railway company opened the Krylbo – Borlänge line ( Södra Dalarnes Järnväg ) in 1881 . The major expansion of the station followed in 1900 with the Frövi –Krylbo line (107 km), which provides a direct connection between the south of the country, for example. B. Gothenburg and Malmö represented with Norrland .

The station building (Avesta Krylbo station) by the architect Folke Zettervall from 1902 is a monument. Today the route Stockholm – Krylbo – Borlänge is called Dalabanan . The Örebro – Frövi – Krylbo – Storvik route is part of the so-called Godsstråket genom Bergslagen . The station name was Krylbo until 1970 , then Avesta C (entral), from 1986 Avesta-Krylbo and from 1988 Avesta Krylbo.

On July 19, 1941, a German ammunition train exploded in the station (see Krylbo explosion ).

Krylbo is a synonym for railway junction in the Swedish language (as in plain Krylbo! ).
