Welcome to Sweden’s oldest preserved narrow gauge railway, in the beautiful town of Vadstena<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Wadstena Fogelsta Railway* was one of the first two narrow-gauge railways in the region of \u00d6sterg\u00f6tland, and opened to traffic in 1874. The track gauge is 891 mm, which corresponds to three Swedish<\/em> feet. The 9.6 km (6 mile) long section between Vadstena and F\u00e5gelsta is the only remaining part of the once-extensive narrow gauge network in \u00d6sterg\u00f6tland of approximately 450 km (280 miles).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 1974, this last part of the narrow gauge railway has been run by the Wadstena Fogelsta J\u00e4rnv\u00e4g museum association (WFJ). It is a non-profit association that operates historic trains in traffic on the railway, so that we can experience mid-20th century travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We welcome you to take a ride on our trains, cycle a rail-bike along the track or just
take a walk in the fantastic surroundings of Vadstena station yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*\u201dWadstena\u201d and \u201dFogelsta\u201d are the old spellings of Vadstena and F\u00e5gelsta, that were used when the railway was inaugurated.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
