The Spikkestad Line (Norwegian: Spikkestadbanen) is a 14 kilometre long railway line between Asker and Spikkestad in Norway. It was originally part of the Drammen Line between Oslo and Drammen which was built in 1872.[1] In 1973, Lieråsen Tunnel was built to shorten the Drammen Line, and much of the old line was closed down.[2] The last train on the section between Spikkestad and Drammen ran on 2 June 1973. However, the stretch between Asker and Spikkestad was kept as a branch line for local commuter traffic.[3]
