History
The station was built as part of Trondhjem–Støren Line in 1864. It was connected with the Rørosbanen in 1877 and to the Dovre Line in 1921. At the same time it was converted from narrow gauge to standard gauge.[1]
On 1 May 1922, the restaurant was taken over by Norsk Spisevognselskap. On 26 April 1940, the station was destroyed during the fighting of the Norwegian Campaign of World War II. Quickly afterwards a kiosk was erected, and one year after the original station's destruction, a new station building and restaurant was opened. It was further expanded in 1949.[2]
