Hardangerbana is my favorite railroad line.

Ever since I was a little kid I have had a fascination for this railroad line. It had a turbulent life with the threat of being closed hanging over its head for many years. The line was operated from 1935 1989. The last passenger train ran in 1985. Today there are almost no remains left of this railroad line.

These pictures were taken last year after I took a trip along the old line.

I am not sure what this is the remains of but it might be some sort of guard hut from world war 2.

This is the end of the longest tunnel. Behind me is more then a km with darkness.

This is the tunnel entrance if you look hard you can see the old guard hut in the bushes.

This is what is left of the line all the stations but one has been demolished and only the platforms are left. Its a real pity because the line ran trough some of the most scenic areas of Norway. But I guess money talks.

Until next time
