HISTORY After more than 40 years of planning the northern part of West Norway finally got its railway line when the Rauma Railway opened in 1924. Building the line entailed some major challenges, including large height differences between the railway line and the valley floor. This was solved with the help of the "turning" tunnels at Stavern and Kylling near Verma. Since its opening almost 80 years ago the Rauma Railway has carried tourists to and from cruise ships in the Romsdalsfjord, transported the Bank of Norway´s gold reserves during World War II and served as a night train with a mail-carrying service right up until 2000.
