The Dovrebane is a railway line from Oslo to Trondheim in Norway .

General

While originally only the route from Dombås to Støren was called Dovrebanen , today this name applies to the entire route from Oslo to Trondheim. The section from Trondheim to Støren is also a section of the Rørosbane .

The route generally follows the old traffic flows from Oslo to the Trondheim area, like European route 6 .

history

The route was built over the course of 70 years. The years of the opening of the route sections:

• 1854: Oslo – Eidsvoll
• 1864: Støren – Trondheim
• 1880: October 11th - Hedemarksbane or Eidsvold – Hamarbanen
• 1894: Hamar - Tretten
• 1896: Tretten - Otta
• 1913: Otta – Dombås
• 1921: Dombås – Støren

In 1970 the line was electrified .

The route sections

Oslo - Lillehammer

The section from Oslo to Eidsvoll, the Hovedbane , was Norway's first railway line. It was built by George Stephenson . Formally, the line was a private railway until March 4, 1926 .

→ Main article : Hovedbanen

With the construction of the new airport in Gardermoen , a new line was built, partially parallel to the existing route, which is Norway's first high-speed line to Gardermoen.

The travel time to Eidsvoll, where the first Norwegian constitution was passed, is about an hour. Shortly afterwards you reach Lake Mjøsa , Norway's largest inland lake, near Minnesund , where the Minnesund jernbanebru has been crossing the lake since 1880 .

We continue via Hamar, Brumunddal and Moelv to Lillehammer , the city of the 1994 Winter Olympics.

Lillehammer - Dombås

After Lillehammer, the Dovrebahn runs through the Gudbrandsdalen valley. In Gudbrandsdalen is Hunderfossen and the Norwegian Road Museum. Tretten, Fåvang , Ringebu and Otta follow .

In Dombås the Raumabane branches off to Åndalsnes .

Dombås - Trondheim

Drivstua station 1975

From Dombås it goes into the mountains. In order to overcome a height difference of 293 m, a spiral tunnel is driven through. We continue through the Fokstumyra , a national park. Places that will be passed are Oppdal , Støren and Berkåk .

The city of Trondheim is reached after 6½ hours . From here trains continue to Bodø and Östersund in Sweden . There is also a transition to Hurtigruten ships .

Incidents

On February 22, 1975, a serious railway accident occurred on the single- track line . Planned the intersection of was fast train Trondheim-Oslo with trains running north train station in Tretten provided. However, the train coming from the south was delayed. The dispatcher, on the other hand, stuck to the timetable and let the express train into the section of the route that was still occupied. In the following head-on collision, 25 people died.
