Actual 21-1949: Vestfold becomes broad gauge-The large locomotive worked to its advantage when it made its first entrance into Vestfold's towns and villages. There was celebration and jubilation that met the broad-gauge train. Children with flags in their hands added an extra edge to the party atmosphere, and the bands loudly expressed their excitement that the narrow-gauge track was now finally a thing of the past.
