1995 Roros 7

  Picturesque scenery is a phrase that makes railway engineers think about a change of career. Couple this with a climate that is not railway friendly and you have, what my old boss insisted I called opportunities. He was firmly of the opinion that there were no such thing as problems. Among the many to benefit from the opportunities created by the aforementioned combination are manufacturers of track maintenance equipment. I think of permanent way vehicles as the norwegian railway equivalent of rats, they are never very away.
  Although Norwegians are fully aware that there are different types of snow, you would still want a head start if you announced that the "wrong type" was making life difficult.
