The last day of steam at the Norwegian Railway Museum in 2024

The last puff of steam has faded into history.
The Norwegian Railway Museum bid farewell to the steam locomotive Setskogen and the ever-stubborn diesel Tinfos in 2024, marking the end of a memorable summer season. Setskogen, on loan for the season, captured the hearts of visitors .
While Setskogen thrilled the crowd, behind the scenes, the locomotive drivers battled with the stubborn diesel Tinfos, that wasn’t always willing to start.

For those who witnessed the final rides, it was a journey back in time, offering a taste of the golden age of rail travel.

Norwegian Railway Museum – Norway's National Railway Museum.
Since 1896, the Norwegian Railway Museum (NJM) has had the task of documenting the history of railways in Norway and their role in the development of Norwegian society. The museum was started by railway workers and is located in Hamar, perhaps Norway's ultimate railway city. Hamar is also one of the birthplaces of the country’s national railways, with the Grundset Line to Grundset in Elverum, which opened in 1862.
From its humble beginnings on the second floor of Hamar station, the museum was moved to Disen on the outskirts of the city and established as an open-air museum in 1930. The concept of being an open-air museum is precisely what still distinguishes us from other railway museums around the world. In 1956, the museum moved to its current location at Martodden by Lake Mjøsa. Here, a new administration, workshop, and exhibition building opened in 2003.
The Norwegian Railway Museum is a permanent institution, not based on profit, and aims to serve society, support its development, and be open to the public. The museum collects, researches, communicates, and displays material evidence of humans and their environment for study, educational, and entertainment purposes.

One of the main attractions is the Tertitt Train. The locomotive, along with the carriages from the Urskog-Høland Line, has been running regular summer trips at the museum since 1962.

The departure station for your journey with the Tertitt Train is Smalåsen Station, located by the museum's main building.
The final station to the south is Killingmo Station.
Although Norway’s shortest museum railway line is only a few hundred meters long and the train doesn't travel very fast, the short trip gives you a glimpse of what it was like to travel in the old days.
