A BM71 Airport Express Train ready for departure from Oslo S. BM71 is an Electric multiple unit used by Flytoget for the airport express trains on the Gardermobanen line in Norway.

When the Norwegian Parliament on October 8, 1992, decided to build a new central airport for Eastern Norway, they also decided that the main mode of ground transport should be railway. The Storting ( Stortinget, literally "the Great Thing /Assembly" is the Norwegian Parliament, and is located in the capital city Events 314 - Roman Emperor Licinius is defeated by his colleague Constantine I at the Battle of Cibalae, and loses Year 1992 ( MCMXCII) was a Leap year starting on Wednesday (link will display full 1992 Gregorian calendar) Eastern Norway ( Norwegian: Østlandet ( Bokmål) or Austlandet ( Nynorsk) is the geographical region of the south-eastern While the previous airport, Oslo Airport, Fornebu, was located just outside the city limits, the new airport Oslo Airport, Gardermoen, would be located 50 kilometers north of the city, outside the reach of existing public transport. Oslo Airport Fornebu (Norwegian Oslo lufthavn Fornebu) was the main airport serving Oslo, Norway before it closed in 1998. The principle of the airport construction was that it was not to be footed by the tax payers; the entire airport would be built with borrowed money through Oslo Lufthavn AS, a subsidiary of Norwegian Airport Administration. Debt is that which is owed usually referencing Assets owed but the term can cover other obligations Oslo Airport Gardermoen (Norwegian Oslo lufthavn Gardermoen) is located at Gardermoen in Ullensaker, Norway, 48 km north of Oslo Avinor AS is a state owned limited company in Norway that operates most of the civil airports in the country The same principle was chosen for the airport rail link; the Norwegian State Railways (NSB) creating the limited company subsidiary NSB Gardermobanen AS, founded on November 24, 1992, to perform the construction of the line. Norges Statsbaner commonly know as NSB or the Norwegian State Railways is a Norwegian transport company Aksjeselskap is the Norwegian term for a Stock -based Company. Events 380 - Theodosius I makes his adventus, or formal Year 1992 ( MCMXCII) was a Leap year starting on Wednesday (link will display full 1992 Gregorian calendar) It would be able to charge train operators using the line, channeling the payments to cover down payments and interest of the debt used to build the railway.

Construction

Main article: Gardermobanen

Oslo Airport, Gardermoen is located 50 kilometres (31 mi) north of Oslo, but not on the railway line Hovedbanen. With heavy traffic and many small stops until Lillestrøm, and continuing as single track northwards,[7] Hovedbanen would have to be supplemented by a parallel double track from Oslo, with a new route north of Kløfta to Eidsvoll; the 16 kilometres (10 mi) north of the airport allowing trains operating on Dovrebanen to Lillehammer and Trondheim to access the airport. Lillestrøm is a Railway station located at Lillestrøm in Skedsmo, Norway. A single track Railway is one where traffic in both directions shares the same track A double track railway usually involves running one track in each direction compared to a single track railway where trains in both directions share the same track Kløfta station is a Train station at Kløfta which was opened in 1854 as a part of Norways first Railway, Hovedbanen with endpoints Eidsvoll is a Railway station located at Eidsvoll in Akershus, Norway. Lillehammer is a Railway station located in downtown Lillehammer, Norway on Dovrebanen. Trondheim Central Station (Trondheim sentralstasjon or Trondheim S is the main Railway station serving the city of Trondheim, Norway. The 64 kilometres (40 mi) line was named Gardermobanen. [6]

Gardermobanen was the second attempt to build high-speed rail in Norway, after the 35 kilometres (22 mi) line from Ski to Moss on Østfoldbanen. Ski is a Railway station located in Ski, Norway. Located 24 km from Oslo S on Østfoldbanen, it is the point where the railway Moss is a Railway station located in downtown Moss in Østfold, Norway. But no operation speeds exceeding 160 km/h are achieved there due to short distances and limitations to rolling stock, making Gardermobanen the first real high-speed railway line in Norway. Due to the domination of single track in Norway, Gardermobanen increased the total length of double track in the kingdom with two-thirds. A double track railway usually involves running one track in each direction compared to a single track railway where trains in both directions share the same track [6]

Construction started in 1994. [2] An agreement for purchase of sixteen three-car electric multiple units was signed with ADtranz on February 23, 1995.

Main article: Romeriksporten

The greatest challenge was the 14,580 metres (47,800 ft) Romeriksporten railway tunnel from Ettestad, beside Oslo S, to Lillestrøm;[6] the longest railway tunnel in Norway, located underneath the recreational area Østmarka in geological highly unstable ground. Romeriksporten is a railway tunnel between Oslo and Lillestrøm in Norway. Romeriksporten is a railway tunnel between Oslo and Lillestrøm in Norway. Marka is the name of the forested and hilly areas surrounding Oslo, Norway. In 1997 the water level in some of the lakes above the tunnel, including Lutvann and Nordre Puttjern, sank dramatically. Lutvann or Lutvatnet is a Lake in the recreational area Østmarka in Oslo, Norway. Nordre Puttjern is a lake in Østmarka in Oslo, Norway. The lake was almost entirely dried up in 1997 due to a leak during the construction of the railway After the leakages were discovered on February 3, 1997 sanctions requiring leakage removals were initiated by the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate. Events 1112 - Ramon Berenguer III of Barcelona and Douce I of Provence marry uniting the fortunes of those two states Year 1997 ( MCMXCVII) was a Common year starting on Wednesday (link will display full 1997 Gregorian calendar The Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate ( Norwegian: Norges vassdrags- og energidirektorat or NVE) is a Norwegian Government At the worst the tunnel leaked 3,000 liters of water per minute. [9]

The substance Rhoca-Gil was used to attempt fix the leakages, but failed to work properly. Rhoca-Gil is a type of industrial Sealant produced by Rhône-Poulenc, used in the construction of tunnels to block the passage of Groundwater into the tunnel Not only did it not polymerize and fail to tighten the leak, it also intoxicated the surroundings with acrylamide. The Chemical compound acrylamide (acrylic Amide) has the Chemical formula C 3 H 5 N[[Oxygen O]] Instead manual fixing with concrete was necessary; that and cleaning up the toxic delayed the building the tunnel by one year and Romeriksporten opened on August 22, 1999. Events 392 - Arbogast has Eugenius elected Western Roman Emperor. Year 1999 ( MCMXCIX) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display full 1999 Gregorian calendar) [9] Further complications arose due to conflicts between NSB Gardermobanen and the construction company, with the latter at one time stopping work for three weeks while the two quarreled in court. [10] Reports have shown lack of control- and reporting procedures during incidents that should have been addressed, but never taken seriously, in 1995. About sixty houses received damages due to the construction of the tunnel and an evaluation by the Ministry of Transport and Communications showed NOK 500 million went to fixing the leaks; claiming this to a large extent was unnecessary expenditure due to inefficient engineering procedures. The Royal Norwegian Ministry of Transportation and Communications ( Norwegian: Samferdselsdepartementet) is a Norwegian ministry established It also criticized the administrative planning and organization of the overall construction of the railway. [9]

When the new airport opened on October 8, 1998 the Airport Express Train started; the trains had to use the old Hovedbanen form Oslo S to Lillestrøm, but could use the new high-speed line from Lillestrøm to Gardermoen. Events 314 - Roman Emperor Licinius is defeated by his colleague Constantine I at the Battle of Cibalae, and loses Year 1998 ( MCMXCVIII) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link will display full 1998 Gregorian calendar) Flytoget was forced to only operate two trains per hour due to capacity restraints on Hovedbanen.

The first steps of organizational restructure were taken June 29, 2000 when the CEO of NSB, Osmund Ueland, was fired due to several incidents related to the operations of NSB, not just Gardermobanen. Events 512 - A Solar eclipse is recorded by a monastic chronicler in Ireland. 2000 ( MM) was a Leap year that started on Saturday of the Common Era, in accordance with the Gregorian calendar.

Unlike the BM71, the sister trains in service with NSB where prone with trouble, having to operate on hundred-year-old infrastructure on cross-mountain services; the BM71 had more lenient operating conditions thanks to better infrastructure. The only incident to ground all the BM71 trains occurred June 17, 2000 at Nelaug when a BM73 train operated by NSB derailed because of stress on the axle. Events 1462 - Vlad III the Impaler attempts to assassinate Mehmed II ( The Night Attack) forcing him to retreat 2000 ( MM) was a Leap year that started on Saturday of the Common Era, in accordance with the Gregorian calendar.
