    I think that Bergensbanen would be a great addition to the game, with a scenic route and interesting locomotives and trains. The route is mostly used for passenger service but cargo services exist.
    The route is mostly 2 tracks but in some parts only one track at a time, so you could expect some red light delays. The only downside I could think of is that the route is really long, 7-8 hours. It is possible to cut the route down to maybe Bergen - Voss or Geilo?

    Additional info:
    Operator: Vy (national operator),
    Route length: 371 km (for Bergen - Oslo)
    Stations: 33 (Bergen - Oslo
    Electrified: Yes
    Top speed: 160km/h
    Signaling system: Norwegian light systems
    Safety systems FATC / DATC (EBICAB 700)

    Thanks for reading!
    I put some pictures behind and a map of the route
    If you're intrested in hearing more about this route I recommend this page

    I feel like length here would be a HUGE issue, we are talking about 230+ miles, skw isn't even near that.

    I agree but as I said in the post it is possible to cut it down to maybe Voss or Geilo.
    Voss is only like 70km and Geilo is 180km, so its absolutely possible to cut it down

    Gelio should be the end point that way it's like Schnellfahrstrecke Hannover Kassel Würzburg in terms of distance. NSB El 18 can serve as the basis for Luzern Sursee Re460
