Krøderen Line and its collection

Krøderen Line
Source

The Krøderen Line is a heritage railway line that offers a unique journey from the town of Vikersund to the Krøderen lake in Viken county, Norway. This 26-kilometre line, built in 1872, provides a historical perspective of the Norwegian State Railways. Although passenger services were withdrawn in 1958, and freight traffic in 1985, the Krøderen Line Foundation and the Norwegian Railway Club have been operating steam train services on the line from May to October since 2011.

Preserving the Krøderen Line and Station

The Norwegian Parliament has made a significant decision to preserve the Krøderen Line as a heritage railway and to maintain the Krøderen Station as a museum. This ensures that the historical significance of the line and the station is maintained for future generations. Visitors can explore the museum to gain a deeper understanding of the railway's history and its role in Norway's transportation system.

    The Krøderen Line, located in Vikersund, Norway, offers visitors a nostalgic journey through Norwegian railway history. This heritage railway operates along a scenic route between Vikersund and Krøderen, showcasing vintage steam locomotives and carriages. Visitors appreciate the well-preserved trains and the opportunity to experience a ride through the picturesque Norwegian countryside. The volunteer staff are often praised for their enthusiasm and knowledge, providing informative commentary during the journey. However, some reviewers note that the experience can be relatively short, and the facilities at the stations are basic. The museum aspect of the line is somewhat limited, with most of the focus on the train ride itself. While it's a charming attraction for train enthusiasts and families, those looking for a more comprehensive museum experience might find it lacking in extensive exhibits or interactive displays. The seasonal operation of the line also means that availability can be limited, so checking opening times is essential.
