The Arrival of the Railway at Persberg
In 1876, the Eastern Värmland Railway (ÖWJ) reached Persberg. When the MVJ (Mora–Vänern Railway) opened its line northwards in 1889, a new station building was put into use on the main line passing Persberg. The former Persberg station was renamed “Persbergs Grufvor”.
