Sandermosen Station (Norwegian: Sandermosen stasjon) is a formerly manned station on Gjøvikbanen located in Maridalen, Oslo, Norway. The station which formerly had its own station building is located a little under 16 km from Oslo S between Kjelsås and Snippen and was opened in 1909. It was closed on June 11, 2006. Since its closure Snippen is the nearest station. The area was used as a loading zone as early as 1900, two years prior to the opening of Gjøvikbanen.
Today the station and the station building is a juncture for cultural activities in the area. This cultural arena is promoted by kulturPUNKTET Sandermosen stasjon. A sculpture park is situated next to the track.
Dano-Norwegian author Aksel Sandemose took his new lastname from Sandermosen in Maridalen.[1]
