Ulricehamn railcar 1.

Ulricehamn 1911-1917

The only carriage in service outside Stora Hotettet in 1911. The line ran from the railway station to the Sanatorium. For various reasons, traffic never started, and the building was demolished and sold in 1917. Due to the World War, raw material costs had risen so sharply that the profit from the sale far exceeded the construction costs, which is why the shareholders made a good profit, even though not a single ticket was sold. The small trailer was probably used for freight transport from the railway up to the sanatorium.
