Not the straightest way to Oslo

We decided that 8 oclock train from Stockholm was too early and 3 pm too late for us, so we ended up taking a train to Göteborg. Slow local trains from Göteborg to Halden and Halden Oslo. Along that route I could see pulp- and papermills with familiar names to me. Saugbrugs in Halden and Borregaard in Sarpsborg. Big forests and forest cuts. We also passed the big lake Vänern that I remember from my early schoolbooks. Suppose these were also the areas where Gustaf Vasa ordered Finns to move around 1600, Finnskogarna.
