The centennial celebration of the Oslo-Bergen railway
Filed Under artiklar | Comments Off
On November 27, 1909 the first train rolled west on the Oslo- Bergen Railway
across the mountains to Voss, 26 years after the Bergen-Voss segment was
completed in 1883. Two flag- draped locomotives powered the caravan of two dining cars, replete with all kinds of sumptuous delicacies, and passenger cars carrying the
(Norwegian) King, parliament members, railroad authorities, foreign
ambassadors and a large press corps.
