The S rlands line makes its way south-west through a rural area dominated by forests. A couple of years ago a Wolf was hit by the train here. Soon the line reaches Nelaug where the Arendal line branches off to the south towards Arendal by the coast. The S rland line continues on south-west to a place called Grovane. At this very place the nice Setesdal Museum Railway line starts.
Steam locomotives are in full operation.
Tourist trains are operated during summer weekends. Shortly after Grovane the S rlands line reaches Kristiansand which is the main city and port in the very south of Norway. Kristiansand is a busy city during the summer holidays and the night-life is good. There is connection to passenger ferries for Denmark. Kristiansand has also been a busy ferry port for railway freight cars from the European Continent.
