Vikingskipet Station (Norwegian: Vikingskipet holdeplass) was a temporary railway station located in Hamar, Norway, on the Røros Line. The station was officially opened on 16 August 1993,[1] and was used during 1993 and 1994 to allow spectators direct access to Vikingskipet for the 1993 UCI Track Cycling World Championships and the speed skating at the 1994 Winter Olympics, saving them a 1 kilometer (0.6 mi) walk from Hamar Station. The station is a cul-de-sac station which is electrified, unlike the rest of the Røros Line. The station has not been used since the Olympics. In 2006, the Norwegian National Rail Administration proposed re-opening the station in conjunction with larger events.[2]
