The world's most modern and largest underground iron mine in Kiruna, is served by the world's strongest train. It transports ore to harbours in Narvik and Luleå. The railway opened in 1903 and was one of the first electrified railways in Sweden. Today Malmbanan is the line in Europe with the highest carrying capacity, also operating the world's strongest locomotive. When fully loaded it goes downhill, charging batteries it uses uphill on the way back to the mine when it's empty.
