1871 - 1923 A BRANCH LINE TO THE BERGEN LINE?
In 1871, the first plans to build a branch line to The Bergen Line were presented by forester Hans Gløersen from Voss. The purpose of the branch line was to link The Bergen Line to a harbor by the Sognefjord, in order to connect steamship traffic between the villages in Indre Sogn. At the time, these villages had no road links to the rest of the country, which meant that most freight, mail and passenger transport had to be carried out by ship to Bergen or by horse transport over the mountains.
