In the winter of 1898/1899 construction of the so-called "The Big Lift" began. In June 1899, goods could be transported to the lower-lying region to Björnfjell for the first time. So the almost five kilometer detour over the mountains could be avoided. When the railway line was completed, 10,000 tons of goods had already been transported over it.
