This is where my father is from. He was born at the Gaukaas Stasjon in Nissedal,Treungen,Telemark in Norway.
This is a photo,from 1930,of the old railroad station, at Gaukaas.My grandfather,Anders Kvale,was the stationmaster there. He died in about 1923, when my father was 3 years old and my grandmother then took over his job.I recently found out that the building burned down in 2008.I never did get a chance to visit my father's childhood home, but the is a miniature railroad club in Norway that has included it in their site.
