context_page_description: The Western Main Line is the main state-owned railway line between Stockholm and Gothenburg in Sweden and it began construction in 1856 and opened for service in 1862.
  Maintained by the Swedish Transport Administration, the Western Main Line is electrified and consists entirely of double track, except the four-track sections between Gothenburg Central Station and Olskroken, in Järna, and south of Stockholm, between Flemingsberg and Stockholm South Station, about 14 km. The last section between Stockholm South Station and Stockholm Central Station runs mainly on a two track bridge, before the Stockholm City Line was opened in 2017, the bridge was a serious bottleneck, as all trains had to use the same tracks.
