Eidsvoll, Lillestrøm, Sagdalen

I just can't get enough of Norway, besides, it is the closest neighbour if living in the Svealand part of Sweden
Additionally, the railway through Drammen remains closed, so I plan to visit the Gjøvik railway and see all the trains that have been diverted. Here I'm at Helenelund station.
I'm taking SL Pendeltåg to Arlanda

SAS lounge closed for the day
Not my plane
Luckily, there is another SAS lounge open, serving ice cream

One hour - and I'm in Oslo. Taking the train would have taken 6 hours
Besides I still have to take trains both to and from airports in Stockholm and Oslo


Children who fit under this gate travel for free



I will actually be staying in a hotel here at the airport, but first, I'm heading to Eidsvoll to spot a freight train
Most passengers are disembarking at the airport, as this train terminates in Eidsvoll.


This station was built in 1998, replacing the older one a bit further south. The new station was located at the Gardemoen railway
Today, only trains on the Gardemoen railway serve this station. The old railway through Dal is used by freight trains

This empty train is switching to the old railway


CargoNet 5734 from Trondheim to Alnabru

I have caught up with the Eurodual from Trondheim, as the VY passenger trains are much faster between Eidsvoll and Lillestrøm on the Gardemoen line.




I'm on my way to Sagdalen, many cats are out this time of the day
