Need translation for:

Travel Permit - Fripas
Occupation - Jembanearbeider

This is in the Emigrants from Trondhjem/1879.

Thanks

A "Jernbanearbeider" is a person working at the railroad. I'm not sure about the "fripas" but a guess(!) is that it just means having a general passport and didn't need any specific permition...?

I think "fripass" is related to the military service!
