The railway between Nora and Ervalla is Sweden’s first standard rail railway for passenger transport. It was inaugurated with noise and fanfare in 1856. The railway was added on a private initiative and was built to transport iron, ore and coal to and from the mines and smelters. In the station area, you can walk around the railway yard among locomotive sheds and workshops. The beautiful station building that houses the tourist office still has the waiting room with a ticket window. Visitors are welcome to explore the station area on their own, but keep in mind that the track must be crossed at special transitions. Nora Ervalla railway and associated facilities are protected as a building monument.
