Kinnekulle Line (Swedish: Kinnekullebanan) is a 121-kilometer (75 mi) long unelectrified single track railway line from Håkantorp via Lidköping and Mariestad to Gårdsjö in Sweden. At Gårdsjö, it connects to the Western Main Line and at Håkantorp it connects with the Älvsborg Line. The line lacks both automatic train protection and centralized traffic control.[3]
