railway line between Skøyen and Filipstad in Oslo, Norway. It is used for freight trains to Oslo Port.[1]

History

The line was built as part of the

double track. The line consisted of the last two kilometers of the Drammen Line that terminated at Oslo West Station (Oslo V). In 1980, the Oslo Tunnel between Skøyen and Oslo Central Station
opened and Oslo V was closed. The last stretch of the Drammen Line was then transferred to a pure freight line.
