1995 Trondheim

  Trondheim station from town side. I have posted pictures of Trondheim before, all from 1995, it is my one and only visit. For some reason it has not "grabbed" me the same way that Oslo and Bergen have. A former capital, Trondheim has two lines to Oslo, one to Sweden, one to Bodo and a tramway. If you ask nicely at the tourist office they will tell you about a cathedral and many other attractions.

 A Nohab Di 3 from Hamar pulling into Roros station. Originally built to 3' 6 " gauge this line was part of the first rail link between Oslo and Trondheim. The mainline now runs over the Dovrefjell, but this holiday was a "railway experience" so the down trip included an overnight in Roros. As I had forgone the stops in Bergen and Geilo I was able to spend three nights here. As much as I love Bergen and want to explore Geilo, it is still on my list, I think it was a good choice and the two routes to Trondheim are very different.

Replenishment point at Roros. I cannot see any fuel tanks or filler pipes in my pictures. They are probably in background and slightly out of focus.

 Back in the days when photography was a chemical process, I favoured 35mm colour slides. This is something I now regret. Prints can be scanned with ease but slides need special equipment and even then loose a lot in translation. That is why this is the first Di 3 picture I have posted. Most of my Di3 snaps are slides and despite the flag for a page devoted to the class I have never felt easy about posting them. However as the Roros line is not electrified and Nohab was then the motive power of choice I now present 3633 at Roros. Sorry for the quality, but it is not likely I will get a chance to replace with a better shot.
