LKAB Malmtrafik, earlierMalmtrafik i Kiruna AB (MTAB), is aSwedish railway company which operates theiron ore freight trains on theIron Ore Line and theOfoten Line. MTAB is a wholly owned subsidiary of the mining companyLuossavaara–Kiirunavaara (LKAB). InNorway, operations are handled by the subsidiaryMalmtrafikk AS (MTAS). Malmtrafik hauls ore from LKAB's mines inKiruna,Malmberget andSvappavaara to the ports ofLuleå andNarvik, the latter located in Norway. The company owns 28Iore locomotives and 750hopper cars. Each train is 68 cars long and weighs 8,600 tonnes (8,500 long tons; 9,500 short tons), allowing the company to transport 33 million tonnes per year.

Traditionally the ore hauling had been done by theSwedish State Railways (SJ) andNorwegian State Railways (NSB). In the late 1980s, LKAB started a process to take over operations and increase efficiency by using heavier and longer trains. Because of the profitability in the operations, especially NSB was reluctant to lose the operations. In 1993, LKAB received permission to operate their own trains in Sweden, and from 1996 in Norway. MTAB and MTAS were created in 1996 when they took over the hauling formerly operated by NSB and SJ. It inheritedDm3 andEl 15 locomotives. Originally established as ajoint venture between LKAB, NSB and SJ, with the mining company as a majority owner, LKAB bought the whole company in 1999. By 2011, the renewal process will be finished, and only trains pulled by Iore will be in operation. (Full article...)
