Engerjordet (station)

The station was established concurrently with the line, on 31 May 1898.[1] The distance to the neighboring stations was negligible: only 250 meters to Slemdal However, two influential people in the operating company Holmenkolbanen lived in the vicinity. The one was engineer Halvor Emil Heyerdahl, who lived at Heyerdahls vei 1 (named for himself). Presumably the station was at first not official, but trams would stop there to let the executives on and off. During the 1900s it received a platform. By then Johannes Harbitz, who also lived adjacent to the station, had become the company's director. Owing to limited patronage the station was closed in 1935, despite protests from residents.[1] It remains the only station to have been closed on the line.[2]

The station was situated at the intersection of Slemsdalsveien and Heyerdals vei. It was equipped with a simple, wooden platform on the one side. The station was located between Slemdal and Ris. Due to the vicinity to these stations there were few passengers who used Engerjordet.[2] The station was named for the farm Enger.[3]
