Railway Builders. Composed by John Brakstad. Transcription. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2019. Norsk Noteservice #NNS9790261715812. Published by Norsk Noteservice (BT.NNS9790261715812).The railway between Oslo and Bergen, ”Bergensbanen”, was built in the years 1895 1909. This piece is dedicated to the railway labourers, the navvies, who did the hard work across the mountains. Most of the work, even in the tunnels, were done by hand.
The official opening of the railway was in 1909, but there was also a celebration and a dynamite salute when the two teams of labourers and locomotives from East and West met in the mountains in October 1907. At this point, the rails were joined together with a joint in the national colours: ”The Junction Point”!
