The Köping–Uttersberg–Riddarhyttan Railway was a narrow-gauge railway in central Sweden, 46 kilometres long. The railway ran northwest from the port city of Köping to several small industry cities such as Uttersberg and Riddarhyttan. The line operated between 1864 and 1968.
The railway was built with a gauge of 1,093 mm . The railway was planned to be constructed to a gauge of 1,067 mm , relatively common in Sweden at the time. When the locomotives and rolling stock were ordered, however, there was an error – possibly confusion between the Swedish fot and the English foot, which differ by about 2.7%, or more likely because Köping–Uttersbergs järnvägsaktiebolag assumed the gauge was measured from the centre of the rail to the centre of the rail.
