traffic

A railway connection from Skövde to Karlsborg had existed since July 27, 1876 with the 43 km long Karlsborgbana . Mölltorp had a train station on this route. The electrification of the single-track line took place in 1937. The tracks are still there.

Passenger traffic was stopped in 1986 and freight traffic at the end of the 1990s. Trafikverket plans to demolish the line (Bandel 541) between Karlsborg and Skövde.

The Tibro – Karlsborg section was officially closed in 2010 and the Skövde – Tibro section followed at the end of 2018. The line has been without maintenance since 2010 and is in poor condition. Thereafter, the plan is to sell the entire site, which can then be used for pedestrian and cycle paths as well as local roads. The demolition is expected to begin in 2022 and be completed in 2023.
