Røykenvikbanen was a 7 km railway branch line between Jaren and Røykenvik.

[edit] History

The line was constructed as the original terminal stretch of Gjøvikbanen (then know as Nordbanen) in 1900 until the extension to Gjøvik was opened in 1902. From then the line was a branch line, which offered connection with a steam ship on Randsfjorden. Passenger traffic on the line was discontinued in 1949 and the line officially abandoned on November 11, 1957. The tracks were later removed and the corridor is now part of Route 34.
