The Railway Museum of Grängesberg.

The Railway Museum of Grängesberg (Swedish: GrängesBergsBanornas Järnvägsmuseum, GBBJ), also called the Museum of Locomotives (Swedish: Lokmuseet) is a Swedish museum of locomotives, located 2 km southwest of the center of Grängesberg, Dalarna, in direction towards Örebro, Västmanland.
The museum was established in 1979, located in a locomotive stable erected in 1928.
The museum preserves the world's only remaining steam turbine locomotive in function, Ljungström locomotive M3t nr 71, manufactured in 1930 by Nydqvist & Holm AB and renovated by the Locomotive Museum for the 125th anniversary of the Swedish Railways in June 1981. This locomotive was built in 3 units, and all of them are preserved at the museum. With a power of 22 tons, it is still Sweden's most powerful steam locomotive. Practical tests showed that it was able to transport 2,000 tons in 17 per mille elevation.

Grängesberg Railway Museum, GBBJ, was established in 1979 with the aim of preserving TGOJ, Trafikatiebolaget-Grängesberg-Oxelösunds Järnvägar, rolling stock at the locomotive sheds in Grängesberg.
The TGOJ lines consisted of the three lines: FLJ, Frövi Ludvika Railway. KHJ, Köping-Hults Railway, (later ÖKJ, Örebro-Köpings Railway) and OFWJ, Oxelösund-Flen-Westmanlands Railway.
KHJ-ÖKJ was opened for traffic: First stage on March 5, 1856, second stage on August 26, 1857 and finally stage three in 1867. FLJ opened for traffic in different stages in the years 1871-1873. OFWJ opened for traffic on January 1, 1877. TGOJ: In 1931, the three lines FLJ, ÖKJ and OFWJ were merged into one unit and all stock was rebranded as TGOJ with a common number series.
The main purpose of the railway was to transport iron ore from, among other things, the mining fields in Grängesberg and down to the harbor in Oxelösund, a distance of approx. 255 km. The ore transports ceased in connection with the closure of the mine in Grängesberg in 1990. The line also carried significant freight and passenger traffic.
About 160 vehicles from the 1850s to the 1970s are preserved at the museum in Grängesberg. Among the rarities you can find, among other things, the world's only working steam turbine locomotive, Sweden's first three-cylinder steam locomotive, the OFWJ No. 8 steam locomotive manufactured in England in 1876, as well as electric locomotives, diesel locomotives and railcars. Passenger cars with wooden baskets and open platforms from the 19th century, steel passenger cars from the 1940s and 1950s, open and covered freight cars and ore cars from the 1870s to the 1950s. Furthermore, there are exhibitions with photos and information about all 60 stations on the TGOJ lines, signals, switchgear equipment, etc., etc. On the museum grounds there is a locomotive shed building with 10 stall spaces, of which 2 are used as workshop premises, switchgear building and the large railway yard with 14 tracks and a total track length of 14 km.
