History

The station was opened in 1866, as part of the Randsfjorden Line. In 1872, Vikersund became the terminus of the Krøderen Line (Krøderbanen), a 26 kilometres (16 mi) branch line to the lake of Krøderen. Passenger services on the Krøderen Line were withdrawn in 1958 and freight traffic in 1985. The rail line was transformed into a heritage railway with outings between Vikersund Station and Krøderen, a distance of about 26 km. The rail lane is operated by the Norwegian Railway Club and the Krøderbanen Foundation. [1]
