Operating engineers are needed at both stations to run the line. They communicate via telephone. The cables for phone and electric power are supported by posts fixed besides the trestle. While the cars are running a red blinking light shows that no one may enter the line. The cars have no driver. But there is a communication device in every car, that allows to activate emergency brakes etc. by passengers. The buttons are labelled norwegian, english and german.

As in most public services during holidays students work at this facility as operating enginieers.

Places of interest in the surroundings :

High above of Ringedalsvatn at the edge of the Hardangervidda a diving board like corbel reaches in the abyss. The rock seems to be much more impressive than Prekestolen as it is quite lean an long.

The museum in Tyssedal power station dedicates to the workers history of this industrial region.

Just opposite of Tyssedal Folgefonn tunnel leads from Odda to Gjerde. The Tunnel is one of Norways extra long road tunnels (although shorter than the tunnel between Aurland and Lærdal).
