33. From Christiania to Gothenburg by Railway.
356 Kil. (221 Engl. M.). From Christiania to Fredrikshald, the
Norwegian ’Smaalensbane’, in 5 hrs. (fares 6 kr. 18 ø., 4 kr. 12 ø.): thence to
Gothenburg, the Swedish ‘Bergslagsbana’ in 9 hrs. (fares 16 kr. 5 ø., 8 kr.
95 ø.). Carriages changed at Mellerud. From Christiania to Gothenburg
one through-train daily (with through-carriages) in 131/4 hrs. (fares 22 kr.
12 ø.. 13 kr. 25 ø.).
The railway-journey is on the whole tame and uninteresting, so that
were it not for the Trollhätta Falls (p. 291) the preference should be given
to the steamboat. Between Ed and Mellerud-Sunnanå the train may be
quitted for the Dalslands Canal (see p. 279). Travellers who mean to pass
the night at Fredrikshald are recommended to visit Moss, Fredrikstad,
and the *Sarpsfos on the way, going on in each case by the next train.
Steamers run daily from Moss, Fredrikstad, and Fredrikshald to
Gothenburg. Travellers in the reverse direction are recommended to leave the
railway at Moss and take one of the local steamers thence to Christiania,
the approach to which by water is particularly fine.
Christiania, see p. 1. The train describes a curve round the
suburb of Oslo and skirts the base of the Ekeberg (p. 12), affording
a fine retrospect of the town. From (4 Kil.) Bækkelaget we have a
good view of the islands in the Ormsund, with their villas. The
train then skirts the Bundefjord, passing the country-residences of
numerous Christiania merchants. 8 Kil. Lian. The train now
ascends to (18 Kil.) Oppegaard (320 ft.). To the right is Næsodden, a
large peninsula separating the Christiania Fjord from the
Bundefjord. — 24 Kil. Ski (420 ft.).
From Ski to Sarpsborg, 80 Kil. (50 Engl. M.), by the ‘østre linie’
(uninteresting). — 6 Kil. Kraakstad; 13 Kil. Tomter; 20 Kil. Spydeberg. The
line then crosses the broad Glommen, on a handsome bridge, to (29 Kil.)
Askim, with nickel-mines. 35 Kil. Slitu; 39 Kil. Mysen; 44 Kil. Eidsberg;
51 Kil. Rakkestad; 61 Kil. Gautistad; 72 Kil. Ise. The train then runs
along the Nipen, and crossing the Glommen by the bridge mentioned at
p. 278, reaches (80 Kil.) Sarpsborg (see p. 277).
Near Aas is an agricultural school. Beyond Vestby we reach
(48 Kil.) Soner, the station for the small timber-trading town of
Holen, on the river of that name, and Soon (p. 37), on the
Christiania Fjord, a steamboat-station and sea-bathing place. The train
now descends to the fjord and skirts the bank of the picturesque
Mossesund, the strait between Moss and the Gjellø. See Map, p. 10.
60 Kil. (37 Engl. M.) Moss, see p. 37. The station is on the
S. side of the town, near the sea-baths.
Steamers ply between Christiania and Moss several times daily,
taking 4 hrs. to the trip. A great part of the course of these steamers lies
belween the Gjellø and the mainland.
The next stations are Dilling, Rygge, and Raade. Beyond
Onsø the train crosses the Kjølberg - Elv, passes through a short
tunnel, and soons stops at —
