[edit]According to http://www.jernbaneverket.no/jernbanenettet/jernbane_nettet_i_tall/ Nordlandsbanen goes from Trondheim to Bodø, and Meråkerbanen goes from Hell to Storlien/Sweden (but the table is not a definitive list of the railways in Norway)
So I believe classifying Norway's longest railway as a side track is wrong.
Also, to complicate matter, some consider Fauske-Bodø as a side track... :) --ZorroIII 20:57, August 3, 2005 (UTC)
- Now, if you make a phone call to Jernbaneverket, they will confirm what I wrote on the page. And since I've worked at the railroads for many years, I know that the classification of Nordlandsbanen as going from Trondheim to Bodø is wrong. If you follow the tracks from Trondheim to Hell, you can clearly see Nordlandsbanen starting on a sidetrack and branching off from Hell station. So the old classification of Meråkerbanen going from Trondheim to Sweden, and Nordlandsbanen being a newer line branching off from Hell, is correct.
- Ok. So the only thing that matters is what line was built first? Then the strech from Eidsvoll to Hamar is a branch/side track of Grundsetbanen, as Hamar - Grundset was built in 1862 and Eidsvoll - Hamar in 1880? And Gjøvikbanen is a branch/side track of Hovedbanen? And what does the fact that Nordlandsbanen incorporates the strech Tverrånes - Storforshei, built in 1904, do in this equation? --ZorroIII 21:06, August 4, 2005 (UTC)
File:NSB Di 4 Saltfjell.jpg to appear as POTD soon
[edit]Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:NSB Di 4 Saltfjell.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on September 30, 2012. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2012-09-30. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! —howcheng {chat} 17:09, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
Update to route map required
[edit]The route map needs a small update to include the now operational Gevingåsen Tunnel between Hommelvik and Hell. I would do it myself, but I don't know how... :P --MelioraCogito (talk) 20:22, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
No longer operated by Vy/NSB, but by SJ Norge.
[edit]To my knowledge, this line is no longer operated by Vy/NSB, but by SJ Norge. Could someone who has the time please change all the references of being operated by NSB/Vy to being operated by SJ Norge? I don't have enough time to do that as this is a pretty long article.
Thanks

Dreyfushammaren
[edit]A local branch to Dreyfushammaren is mentioned in the route diagram, but appears to be disused, and partially dug up. It is not for me to go editing such a diagram, could someone more able take a hand, please? Jan olieslagers (talk) 07:44, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
