Alstad station
former railway halt in Stjørdal, Norway, on the Stjørdal–Levanger part of the Nordland Line
Alstad Station (Norwegian: Alstad holdeplass) was a railway station on the Nordland Line just north of the village of Skatval in Stjørdal Municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. With the opening of the section of the Hell–Sunnan Line through Stjørdal on 29 October 1902, a passing loop was taken into use at Alstad. A station was built 50 meters (160 ft) north of the passing loop in 1934. The passing loop was removed in 1972 and the station remained in revenue service until 23 May 1993. It was officially closed on 1 September 1993.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as former railway halt in Stjørdal, Norway, on the Stjørdal–Levanger part of the Nordland Line. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4735844. Authority coordinates are 63.528, 10.805. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1902, 1934, 1972 and 1993.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
