The Thamshavn Railway is the first electrical railway in Norway, and was built to transport ore from the copper mines at Løkken to Orkanger Harbour. The total length of the railway covered approximately 15.5 miles (about 25 kilometres) and transported passengers until 1963, but continued to transport ore until 1974. In 1983, parts of the railway were reopened as a heritage railway.

Next, re-board your coach and proceed for lunch at Bårdshaug Manor. This manor lies next to Orkdal Fjord, and dates back to 1890.

Today, the manor is a modern hotel, but the story of Thams created through his work is still visible in the walls. Adjacent to Bårdshaug Manor lies the Thams Pavilion. Built by Christian Thams, it has represented Norway in the World Exhibition in Chicago since 1893. In 2017, the pavilion was returned to its original building-place.
