Katrineholm railway station is located in the town of Katrineholm, Sweden, at the Western Main Line and the endpoint of the Southern Main Line. Some fast long-distance trains stop here, and also regional trains in multiple directions. The station is located at the traditional midpoint of the town. Regional and city buses stop nearby.
Railway traffic started in 1862 when the Western Main Line between the two largest cities of Sweden opened for traffic reached the place, with traffic all the way same year. In 1866 the first part of the Southern Main Line from Katrineholm to Norrköping, later towards Malmö, was put into operation.
The station building is originally from 1862 but has been added to a few times, especially 1915. Katrineholm is a railway town, created based on its location at a railway junction. The present town location was countryside before the railway construction. The name Katrineholm comes from a nearby major farm [sv] with this name located 2 km (1+1⁄2 miles) northwest of the railway station.
