The film takes us on a trip along the newly opened Raumabanen. The track opened in 1924. Tourist ships arrive at the harbor in Åndalsnes. The tourists are put ashore in a light boat, and are seen by the villagers themselves on the quay. Departure with the tourist train, which is ready at Åndalsnes station.

REVOLUTIONENS DATTER starred Danish boxer Waldemar Holberg. Holberg held a version (Australian) of the welterweight title for a month in 1914. From what I could see he made two films, in Norway in 1918, while fighting there from 1917 to 1919. So his film's survival rate is 50%. Billed as a 'folke komedie' in 4 acts (I saw no comedy), it does end with the obligatory boxing match. An interesting note is that the actor playing his opponent is Fred Boston. Waldemar Holberg knocked out a boxer named Fred Boston in Oslo in 1918, but it is Boston's only recorded match. Makes one wonder.....

Film about the snow problems on the Bergen Railway and a bit about the work behind it to keep the line open in winter. From the most serious snow obstacles that have occurred on the Bergen Railway in the last ten years. The footage was taken around Finse station, of the station building in full storm while work is being done to clear the line of snow. The large "Roteren" enters the station after it has cut the track for the train waiting at the station. The "scraper" is a device that is pulled behind the locomotives to make the track wider.
