The old stone pier.

in #history6 years ago (edited)

Remnat after railway construction.

In november 1902 was the construction of the railway between Narvik and the border to Sweden completed. This pier was used to bring supplies to the construction work. We can still see parts of the road goes from the pier to the railway in the mountains above. Horses were used to bring supplies to the construction work.

"in the early 90s"? :)

The car road was maybe built in the early 1990s, but the railroad probably in the early 20th century? :)

The railway was finish in 1902, my be I have not expressed me correctly. Thank you for comments and curiosity.

PS. I not so smart with the English language.

When was the car road to Sweden opened?

1984
