History
The locomotive stable.

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.[1] 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.[2]

gollark: This is very incoherent. And yes, it's often hard to analyze complex scenarios, but that does *not* mean that the correct answer is "disavow the entire concept of analyzing things".
gollark: The Chinese remainder theorem?
gollark: Immediately undergo exponentiation modulo 7, then.
gollark: I do not understand that sentence ("The alternative is work a political method for political reason.") and it is not pizza, I have had no commercial relations with pizza companies, I am not paid to subliminally advertise pizza, etc.
gollark: I guess maybe in politics/economics/sociology the alternative is something like "lean on human intuition" or "make the correct behaviour magically resolve from self-interest". Not sure how well those actually work.
