Early the next morning the Arcadian reached Narvick & after a hasty breakfast we went ashore in the first launch & secured the best seats on the train - which is built on the order of an American sleeper & is not in the least foreign. After our fellow trippers all arrived superintended by Cook, the train started & we ascended on into Sweden. The country inside is just as it looks along the coast. For along way we ran along the side of the very deep & narrow fjord, getting further above it every minute. The railway is the most northern in Europe & was really lovely although I did not see the "wild granduer" which Baldecker praises. Rikograuen was really a station & a lake, where (the station not the lake) hungry horde partook of food like a swarm of hornets leaving devastation in their wake. The trip down was fast but nearly the same views. 
We were fog bound for 24 hours so the Captain decided to omit the Svartsen glacier & Trondhjem - the two most interesting places of course - & proceed direct.
