railway tunnel inTrondheim ,Norway onStavnebanen . The tunnel was built by the German forces duringWorld War II as a means to bypass Trondheim in case of asabotage of the main line. This was a major concern sinceTrondheim Central Station was built on an artificial island and there are bridges both to the east and west of the station. The tunnel is not electrified and is currently disused. The western opening is close to theGløshaugen campus of TheNorwegian University of Science and Technology .
