This is the second of two pages devoted to photographs of the metre gauge Trondheim tramways. This page shows the Gråkallbanen (GB) route. Gråkallbanen - Page 1 show the trams used on the Gråkallbanen. This is the most northerly surviving tramway in the world.
 
I last visited the line on 10th August 2005 on a QE2 cruise, two days after the increased 15 minute interval service began. Images from this visit have been added below. I previously visited the line on an Oriana cruise in 1996, and images from this visit will be added soon. Unfortunately the museum at Munkvoll was closed on both my visits.
