👉 Dombås in the context of Rauma Line

The Rauma Line (Norwegian: Raumabanen) is a 114.2 kilometres (71.0 mi) long railway between the town of Åndalsnes (in Rauma Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county), and the village of Dombås (in Dovre Municipality in Innlandet county), in Norway. Running down the Romsdalen valley, the line opened between 1921 and 1924 as a branch of the Dovre Line, which connects to the cities of Oslo and Trondheim. Originally intended as the first stage to connect Ålesund, and possibly also Molde and Kristiansund, no extensions have ever been realized. The unelectrified line is served four times daily with SJ Norge's Class 93. In the summer the Golden Train tourist service operates from Åndalsnes to Bjorli and back twice a day. CargoLink operates a daily freight train.

The line features two horseshoe curves and has a 655 metres (2,149 ft) elevation drop. Among the line's features is the Kylling Bridge and views of the mountainous valley. Five stations remain in use: Dombås, Lesja, Lesjaverk, Bjorli and Åndalsnes. There have been launched plans to replace the line with a high-speed railway.
