Åndalsnes Station (
History
The area where the station is located is built on reclaimed land, as the Åndalsnes side of Isfjorden is sufficiently shallow. The earthwork for the reclaiming was taken from a cutting built to allow the line access to Åndalsnes. The earthwork was transported using temporary 90 and 60 centimetres (35 and 24 in) gauge railways.[1] In 1912, tests were done in the area of the cutting to establish if it should be a cutting or a tunnel. Work with excavation started in 1915,[2] with the cutting up to 16 meters (52 ft) deep.[3] It was necessary to move one house to make room for the line through Åndalsnes.[4] The station building was built in 1923 and 1924, and had an area of 316.2 square meters (3,404 sq ft). It cost 254,836 kr to build.[5] Both the main station building and the auxiliary buildings were designed by Gudmund Hoel of NSB Arkitektkontor, the in-house architecture firm for the Norwegian State Railways, who were responsible for construction.[6]
The station also received an engine shed in
The train chapel was opened on 10 June 2003.[11] On 8 June 2011, a renovation project for the station was completed. This included better transfer between trains and buses and cruise ships, a new park, and raising of the platforms. Including upgrades to the track, the upgrades cost 19 million kr.[12] The station building has received an elevator and a renovation of the lobby. The station is considered worthy of preservation and the renovation was done in cooperation with the preservation authorities.[6]
