Bjørkelangen
Bjørkelangen is a steam locomotive, built in Chemnitz, Germany in 1924. It operated on the Urskog-Høland train line until the train line stopped operating in 1960.
The train was used to haul timber and passengers from Sørumsand to Skulerud in southeastern Norway, a distance of 50 km. The locomotive came to NTNU on November 1, 1961. Smørekoppen, an NTNU student group, has responsibility for the train, which is now protected under a glass roof next to the Varmeteknisk building on the Gløshaugen campus. The locomotive can be operated, but the steam boiler no longer works. NTNU students have made a film of the locomotive when it first came to the university in 1961, and later when it was operated using an external air compressor to provide power in 2008.
