Besides having very long trains going out from Halden station would put a heavy strain on the locomotives. The climb from Halden and up to Tistedalen are quite steep.
I have seen they use 3 engines even on these 'short' trains. I don't know what the numbers mean, but you that work with/on trains should know them.
It's called "skifting" or shifting in english if you will. Shunters likewise are called "Skiftetraktorer" or shift-tractors, and can be recognised by the prefix "Sk" in their littera, with the following letter(s) designating fuel type (d=diesel, b=benzin, a=accumulator etc.). And Di2's may be used as shunters, but are originally fully capable diesel locomotives. ;)

Most of the transport in Norway goes on the road.

The climb from Halden to Tistedal are 25 0/00
