Norsk Transport, serving the southern suburbs of Rjukan.
History
The station opened as a stop on 1913 and was crucial for the commuter trains that transported workers from the outer parts of Rjukan to the plants. It was classified as a station in 1922 after the new building was built; the only brick construction along the line. It had two apartments and a waiting room, in total 200 square meters.
The station became unstaffed in 1969 and was closed on May 31, 1970, when passenger transport on Rjukanbanen terminated. It was sold as a residence in 1985 to the association
Odd Fellow, who have renovated it.
