点评:I travelled to Narvik because of an interest in its WW2 history and to visit their excellent war museum there.
Visiting the Heritage museum was a natural extension to that visit as the museum details the building and construction of the Ofoten railway so that iron ore could be conveyed from Kiruna to the ice free port at Narvik.
The reason why Germany invaded the neutral country of Norway was to acquire and control the acquistion of that vital war material.
Like all railway constructions in harsh terrains globally this one was little different. Terrible working conditions, fatalities, but also toughness, resilience, and songs and ballads to keep their spirits up.
A special word of appreciation to the young man who was on reception when I arrived.
He gave me a lot of information about how the local university is engaging in scientific research on how to limit damage to the rails and tracks as the modern trains continue their unceasing journeys of transporting their heavy loads down to Narvik port.
Highly recommended.

参观遗产博物馆则是此次行程的自然延伸——该博物馆详细介绍了奥弗特铁路的修建过程,正是这条铁路将基律纳的铁矿石运送至不冻港纳尔维克。
德国入侵中立国挪威的目的,就是为了获取并掌控这种至关重要的战争物资。和全球范围内所有在恶劣环境中修建的铁路一样,这条铁路的修建过程也并无二致。工作环境极其艰苦,也有人员伤亡,但工人们展现出了坚韧与毅力,还用歌曲和民谣来鼓舞士气。
我要特别感谢我抵达时负责接待的那位年轻小伙子。他向我提供了大量信息,介绍了当地大学是如何开展科学研究,力图在现代化列车持续不断地将重货运往纳尔维克港的过程中,尽量减少对铁轨及轨道造成的损坏。
强烈推荐。
