Ingolfsland Station (Norwegian : Ingolfsland stasjon) is an abandoned railway station on the Rjukan Line at Rjukan in Tinn, Norway. It was in use from 1913 to 1970 by Norsk Transport, serving the southern suburbs of Rjukan.
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. [1]
The station became unmanned 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. [2]
The Bratsberg Line is a 74-kilometre long (46 mi) railway line between Eidanger and Notodden in Vestfold og Telemark county, Norway. It opened in 1917, connecting the Tinnos Line, the Sørland Line and the Vestfold Line; allowing Norsk Hydro to transport fertilizer from their plant at Rjukan to the port in Skien. Since 1991 only passenger trains are operated, using Class 69 stock by Vy.
The Rjukan Line, at first called the Vestfjorddal Line, was a 16-kilometre (10 mi) Norwegian railway line running through Vestfjorddalen between Mæl and Rjukan in Vestfold og Telemark county. The railway's main purpose was to transport chemicals from Norsk Hydro's plant at Rjukan to the port at Skien, in addition to passenger transport. At Mæl the wagons were shipped 30 kilometres (19 mi) on the Tinnsjø railway ferry to Tinnoset where they connected to the Tinnoset Line. The Rjukan Line and the ferries were operated by Norsk Transport, a subsidiary of Norsk Hydro.
Mæl Station is a railroad station located at Tinn in Telemark, Norway. It is the terminus of the Rjukan Line (Rjukanbanen) running through Vestfjorddalen between Mæl and Rjukan. The station is located 16 km from Rjukan and on the mouth of the river Måna in Vestfjorddalen where the river runs into Lake Tinn. This was the point where the railway cars on the line were transferred to the Tinnsjø railway ferry for transport to the Tinnoset Line.
SF Ammonia is a steam-powered railway ferry on Lake Tinn in Telemark, Norway. The ferry was one of the four railway ferries on Lake Tinn that connected the Rjukan Line with the Tinnoset Line.

The ferry is one of four remaining steam-powered railway ferries in the world, and can still be seen docked at Mæl, Norway.
