Due to the shift in shipbuilding from wooden sailing ships to steam-powered steel ships, the shipyards in Karlskrona were connected to the railway network at the end of the 19th century through the construction of this tunnel. The tracks were in use until 1990.

A former railway line, lowered and with many bridges and tunnels, runs through the middle of the city to the shipyards.

Built 1885 -1887 to link the railway station to the naval dockyard.
Expanded during WWII to provide bomb shelters and command posts, some of which were used during the Cold War, and linking to a labyrinthine 54,000 square feet beneath the streets of Karlskrona.
