The Solør Line ((ノルウェー語:Solørbanen)) is a railway line which runs through district of Solør in Hedmark, Norway. The line connects the Kongsvinger Line at Kongsvinger Station with the Røros Line at Elverum Station, running through the municipalities of Kongsvinger, Grue, Åsnes, Våler and Elverum. The standard gauge line lacks electrification and centralized traffic control; it is solely used by freight trains, mostly hauling lumber and wood chippings. Proposals for a railway through Solør were first launched in 1857, but was not approved until 1890. Work commenced the following year on the section from Kongsvinger to Flisa, opening on 3 November 1893. The section from Flisa Station to Elverum was approved in 1894, but a dispute concerning the route postponed construction for thirteen years. The northern section opened on 4 December 1910. The Solør Line had a major impact on the area, leading to industrialization. Communities such as Flisa, Kirkenær and Roverud grew rapidly because they received stations. Diesel multiple units were introduced from the 1930s. Passenger services were reduced in 1963 and were finally abolished in 1994. The line received upgrades to its permanent way in 1964 and 1993, and three lumber terminals were opened in 1987. Since 2012 the line has seen a dramatic increase in lumber traffic. There are proposals to electrify and centralize traffic control along the line. ==Route== The Solør Line connects the Kongsvinger Line at Kongsvinger Station to the Røros Line at Elverum Station. The line runs through the traditional district of Solør, through the municipalities of Kongsvinger, Grue, Åsnes, Våler and Elverum. The line predominantly runs along the east bank of the river Glomma, except the northernmost , which runs on the west bank.〔 The Solør Line is, by Norwegian standards, exceptionally straight and flat. The line has single track and standard gauge, but is not electrified and lacks centralized traffic control and automatic train control. It is equipped with GSM-R train radio. The railway line is owned and maintained by the Norwegian National Rail Administration.〔 The line branches off from the Kongsvinger Line at from Oslo Central Station, at an elevation of above mean sea level. Elverum Station, located from Oslo, is at en elevation of .〔Bjerke: 68–70〕 There are three passing loops, located at Kirkenær, Flisa and Braskereidfoss Stations. These are manned when passing is necessary. There are three lumber terminals on the line, Norsenga, Braskereidfoss and Vestmo.〔 The line is—for its era—built with a slack minimum curve radius and a maximum gradient of 0.6 percent (1:154).〔Toreng: 12〕 The Solør Line can boast with the two longest straight sections of track in the country not located in tunnels. The longest is a section at Namnå, followed by a section at Grinder.〔Bjerke: 324〕 Large parts of the line is rated for . The line could, if it received centralized traffic control and all level crossings were removed, be rated for without further modification.〔Toreng: 58〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Solør Line」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
