I HAVE PREVIOUSLY POSTED A MAP OF kIRUNA TO NARVIK. THE LINE IS PRIMARILY FOR FREIGHT, SPECIFICALLY IRON ORE. iT IS SINGLE TRACK.
THE STATION NEAR THE BORDER  OF SWEDEN AND NORWAY ON THE SWEDISH SIDE IS VASSIJEURE.

Malmbanan, "the ore rail", is a railway line between Luleå, Sweden, and Narvik, Norway. The part of the line that is on Norwegian territory between Narvik and Riksgränsen is called Ofotbanen. The Swedish part of the line is the northernmost railway in Sweden and in the whole of the European Union.

The line is used by the mining company LKAB to transport their iron ore from the mines in Kiruna and Malmberget to the ports in Narvik and Luleå. The railway allows 8600 tonnes train weight and 30 tonnes axle weight. Both figures are higher than any other Scandinavian railway. In a voting about Sweden's most beautiful railway, organised by Banverket in 2006 among railway employees, the route between Torneträsk and the border won by a clear margin.
