9 hours and 50 minutes, while the commuter service from Rognan to Bodø takes 1 hour and 5 minutes. South of Steinkjer SJ operates the Trøndelag Commuter Rail. It operates with a fixed hourly headway with some additional rush-hour services, in total nineteen services per day. These run to Trondheim and onwards along the Dovre Line to Lundamo Station. Travel time from Trondheim to Steinkjer is 2 hours and 6 minutes. The services are operated with Class 92 diesel multiple units. Intermodal cargo trains are operated by CargoNet. They run from Oslo and Trondheim, unloading containers in Mo i Rana, Fauske and Bodø. Cargolink's trains also carry cars. CargoNet operates two trains per day, using 11 hours and 35 minutes from Trondheim, and 20 hours from Oslo. Cargolink operates once per week. Since 2011 they have also operate iron ore trains through the Dunderland Valley to Mo i Rana. The 3,400-tonne trains consist of 35 hopper cars of ore. These operate six times per day, each taking 45 minutes. There are also some lumber trains, mostly operating out of Formofoss Lumber Terminal. CargoNet hauls using Vossloh Euro, while Cargolink uses Di 6 locomotives, respectively. Future Two major developments have been proposed for the Nordland Line—electrification and installation of centralized traffic control (CTC). The latter is scheduled to take place as part of nationwide implementation of European Train Control System. The sections currently without CTC have the highest priority, with Mosjøen–Bodø scheduled for completion in 2019 and Steinkjer–Mosjøen the following year. Trondheim–Steinkjer is scheduled for completion in 2023. Between 2014 and 2018 the section of track between Hell and Trondheim Airport is being rebuilt to double track and the two stations will be upgraded. Combined with other investments, such as double track onward from Hell to Trondheim and electrification, this could allow travel time from Trondheim to Steinkjer to drop to one hour. Electrification from Trondheim to Steinkjer, combined with that on the Stavne–Leangen Line and the Meråker Line, is scheduled to take place between 2017 and 2023. A 2015 report concluded that electrification of the rest of the Nordland Line would be profitable for society, but recommended that the Røros and Solør Lines be prioritized, as these could serve as reserve lines to the Dovre Line.
