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

Tomorrow I am going to try another railsimulator called Boso View Express shortened BVE. This is a Japanese railsimulator that is freeware.  There is a bundle of routes and trains for this railsimulator so I am really looking forward to try it. There are no Norwegian routes and trains for this simulator as far as I can tell but that doesn’t matter much. I think its still going to be fun to try it.

I might pick up a version of Trainz also just to try it. I have  heard lots of positive things about it. And I still got msts installed on my computer.  It’s good to have some variation.

I have made some progress on the Hardangerbana route. But it takes time to figure out the various stuff in the dev tools. I am waiting for some more documentation to be released on several things in the program.  But now it’s time for bed……

Until next time

I am thinking about trying to make a route in railsimulator that is based on Hardangerbana. I know its quite a job to do so. But it would be really cool to see this route. Especially since it was based in my hometown. Hardangerbana  ran from 1935 until 1985. And the only remains these day of the railroad line is a few tunnels.

Tomorrow is the day the dev pack for railsimulator is realeased and I am looking forward to it.

Until next time
