The first portion of this, between Christiania and
Lille-hammer, to commence this year, and be finished in 1882.
The second portion, from Lillehammer, through the
Guldbrandsdal and the Romsdal to Veblungsnaes, which,
I believe, is already commenced, is to be completed in
1883. This will be a very interesting and useful line for
tourists.
The final extension, from the mouth of the Romsdal to
Aalesund, bridging over a considerable amount of sea, and
not very important to tourists, inasmuch as steam-packet
communication already exists, is to be commenced in
1884, and finished in 1887. I am not able to understand
why this is projected at all, unless it be in consideration
of the commercial interests of Aalesund, which would be
left out in the cold, by making Veblungsnaes the seaport
terminus of this line. As the project stands, the interval
between the completion of the line to Veblungsnaes, in
1883, and that of the link with Aalesund in 1887, will be
sufficient to build up a great advantage in favour of the
port of the Romsdal.
The short link between Hamar and Lillehammer, on
the east side of the Mjosen lake, is to be commenced in
1S82, and finished in 1885.
The line which is to connect Christiania with the foot of
the Fillefjeld will proceed by the existing line via
Drammen to ldonefoss, where the new line will commence
and follow the Spirdilen lake, instead of the Enndsfjord
by which we came; then through the Baegna valley up to
the Vaugsmjosen. This line will probably be commenced
in 1884, and finished in 1889. Its length, from Honefoss
to Vangsmjosen, 15£ Norsk miles.
Amcug the lines which, like the last named, are to be
looked for in the rather distant future, is one following my
