packet on Mjosen lake to Hamar, and from tlience rail to
Trondhjem. The link of rail between Eidsvold and the
Hamar line is to he completed in 1878. This will save
three or four days, and materially assist those tourists who
are hastening to catch the midnight sun.
One of the authorized lines is a further extension towards
the midnight sun, viz. the line from Trondhjem to Namsos,
but, as the project now stands, this is not to be completed
until 1884.
The whole of that system of short lines radiating from
Christiania, and shown on the map by the continuous lines,
is already nearly finished, and is to be completed in 1878.
The Loop line from Drammen skirting the Christiania
fjord to Laurvig, then turning to Skien, and returning by
the Lougen or Lauveu valley to Drammen and
Christiania, is to be completed in 1881.
The southward continuation of this line, which skirts
the coast from Skien to Christiansand, is to be completed
in 1885 ; and its extension to Egersund, where it will meet
the line from Stavanger, in 1888. This railway connection
between Christiansand and Christiania will be advantageous
to tourists, as the packets from England stop at
Christiansand, and are usually delayed there. By taking the rail
about 10 hours will be saved between Hull and Christiania.
The short line running 31 Norsk miles northward (about
24 English) from Christiansand through the Torrisdal or
Tonsdal to the Kilefjord, and thus communicating with the
chain of lakes extending farther north, will not be
commenced until 1884, and finished in 1888.
The Bergen system of lines includes, first, a line from
Bergen to Yossevangen. This, after a short southward
course from Bergen,bends northward, following the banks of
the Sorfjord (this must not be confounded with the Sörfjord
