Setesdalsbanen

 

In November 1896 a 78-km (48,5 miles) long Setesdalsbanen was opened up to ordinary service between Kristainsand and Byglandsfjord. The railway line was built to link the Setesdal to the coastal town of Kristiansand. With this town’s port and connections to other Norwegian coastal towns and Europe, it opened up a valley, which up to that time had been very isolated.

The gauge chosen, 3’6″, was commonly used at the time. During its heyday it extended over 1300-km (800 miles), mostly on single isolated lines. More informations www.setesdalsbanen.no
