Østfoldbanen or Østfold Line consist of Østre- and Vestre Linje. It is a 137 km long railway line between Oslo and Halden where it continues to Gothenburg in Sweden crossing the boundary at Kornsjø. It runs through a number of cities in the county of Østfold. It was opened in 1879. There is a second railway, Østre Linje (Inner Østfold Railway) which branches off from the main line at Ski, and runs further inland before rejoining the main line at Sarpsborg.

[edit] History

In 1879 the first part of Østfoldbanen opened, from Kristiania to the border of Sweden at Kornsjø. There it is connected to Dalslandsbanen and the railway goes all the way to Gothenburg.
