		In southwestern Norway the few railway lines are short and of merely local importance.
		This will reduce the transportation distance between the two most important commercial centers of the country from 423 miles by sea to 310 miles by rail, and will reduce the time to one-third.
		An interesting scheme for getting local freight across-country in one of the southern provinces (Bratsberg) is the connection of already existing rivers and lakes by means of canals, thus completing a waterway from a fjord of the Skagerrak away up into the interior of the country.

	Ethics Newsline from the Institute for Global Ethics
		Train drivers in Norway announced last week that they would go on strike to protest unsafe working conditions after the country's second-worst rail accident took place earlier this month.
		While those measures may make the railways safer, Norway rail director Steinar Killi says they likely would not have prevented last week's accident since it appears one of the train drivers ran a red light.
		Investigators are looking into published accounts that controllers were aware of the impending crash, but were unable to warn the trains' drivers by cell phone because the phone listings were out of date.

	Language Of Norway
		The language spoken in Norway in the days of the Vikings, a growth from old Teutonic roots, is still spoken in Iceland by the descendants of Norse emigrants to that island; in Norway it gradually changed into the various dialects still spoken by the peasants.
		The written language of the kingdom, as a whole, is almost the same as that of Denmark (Danish), though in many details the Norwegian-Danish of the cities has always differed from the Danish of Copenhagen.
		Furthermore, as a result of Aasen's agitation many writers have written in the dialects, or in a new national language, based on the dialects, the so-called Landsmaal, the literature of which is now extensive and important.
