vesielinjen

Vesielinjen, also known as the Veslelinjen, is a historic railway line in Norway that connects the cities of Oslo and Drammen. The line was originally constructed in the late 19th century as part of the Norwegian State Railways' expansion plan. It is a single-track line, with a total length of approximately 100 kilometers, and is primarily used for passenger and freight transportation.

The Vesielinjen was built to facilitate the transportation of goods and people between the capital, Oslo, and the industrial city of Drammen. The line runs through diverse landscapes, including urban areas, forests, and agricultural regions. It crosses several rivers and passes through several tunnels, including the notable Vesleåsen Tunnel.

The railway line has undergone several upgrades and modernization efforts over the years to improve its efficiency and safety. Despite these improvements, the Vesielinjen remains an important part of Norway's railway network, connecting key economic and cultural centers.

The line is operated by Vy, the Norwegian national railway company, and is part of the larger Oslo Commuter Rail network. It serves as a crucial link for commuters and travelers, providing a reliable and efficient mode of transportation between Oslo and Drammen.
