Geocache Description:

Sandå vokterbolig is one of the buildings built for constuction and maintaining the Bergen Railroad.


På grunn av snøforholdene på høyfjellstrekningen ble det bygget boliger hver 3. kilometer, tilsammen 77 typeboliger i tre eller stein.

Stikningsbua på oversiden av Rallarvegen er bygd i 1896. Den er den eldste bygningen langs Bergensbanen og er fredet.

Sandå vokterbolig er bygd i 1913 og var bosted for to familier. Arkitekt var Harald Kaas.

Begge bygningene er nå i privat eie. Vær snill å respekter dette.
