18 of july 1879 they opened the Smaalens Banen(Østfolsbanen)
Ye old tracks, photo supplied by HundenHera:
The trains passed Ljansdalen on a large iron viaduct. In 1925
the tracks was altered via Holmlia, and the viaduct was sold to
Christiania Spikerverk. They tore it down in 1929.
Today you can see the stone fundations, and to the south of
Ljanselva there are some traces of the old tracks. This is where
the cache is hidden.
