No, only part of it. Normally I only pass the first scene (coming into Lillestrøm). Then my train ducks into an 8-9 mile long tunnel and pops back above ground coming into Oslo Central, and then I transfer to the subway downtown, and run in tunnels most of the way to work.
But these past six weeks, Oslo Central has been closed due to track work, so my trains has been taking the older main line into town, past the RR shops at Nyland and yard at Alnabru, stopping at a small station on the edge of town, where I transferred to subway - which ran past the subway MOW yard.
Here are the locations on bing maps:
Lillestrøm EMU coach yard: http://binged.it/QugbUn
Nyland shops and locomotive terminal: http://binged.it/Qugn62
Alnabru yard arrival tracks and intermodal yard: http://binged.it/MxAgTI
Subway MOW yard at Brynseng; http://binged.it/QugwX4
My normal route would have taken me directly from Lillestrøm into Oslo Central: http://binged.it/QugBKs
