Trengereid Station
railway station in Bergen, Norway
Trengereid Station is railway station on the Bergen Line. It is located in the village of Trengereid in Bergen Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. The station is in the borough of Arna on the shore of the Sørfjorden. The station is located at an elevation of 15.7 metres (52 ft) above sea level between Takvam Station and Bogegrend Station.
Overview
The station was opened when the Bergen-Voss railway line Vossebanen was opened in 1883.
To the south of the station, up on the mountain slope, is the small Trengereid residential neighborhood. Below the station, facing the fjord on the north are the old Trengereid factories, service buildings and docking facilities.
The station is served by all local trains running between Voss and Bergen's main railway station, but express trains do not stop here.
The track layout at Trengereid is somewhat unusual. Originally, the station had only a single track, the topography at the site, with a steep slope to the south and a body of water to the north, made it difficult to add a second track.
