Taking the Bergensbanen #railway to the mountains at #Easter used to be so popular that it was unthinkable to bring your skis with you the train. But you could register them on the station and have them be numbered for pickup.

10 461 pairs of skis had been controlled from Easter Tuesday to Wednesday at the Bergen train station.
