Template:Infobox T-bane station

Nordberg is a disused station on the Oslo Metro in Norway on 10 October 1934. It was located between Østhorn and Holstein stations, in a level crossing with the steep road Borgestadveien, allowing cars to cross. The station saw several accidents, and was closed on 5 May 1992 when the Sognsvann Line was upgraded to metro standard. An underpass was built to allow pedestrians to pass under the tracks.

History

Nordberg station opened 10 October 1934, when Akersbanerne had built the line from Majorstuen to Sognsvann. The line was double-tracked from Majorstuen to Korsvoll, and single-tracked from there to Sognsvann. In 1939, the section Korsvoll–Sognsvann was upgraded to double track, and the station Korsvoll changed name to Østhorn.

Nordberg was part of Holmenkolbanen's network until 1973, when the municipality of Oslo bought all the company's stocks. In 1993, the stations on the Sognsvann Line were upgraded to metro standard, which involves a heightening and lengthening of the platforms, and installation of third rail power supply and a new signaling system. The third rail made it impossible to cross the line in-grade, and under- or overpasses had to be built at all stations. The transport authorities decided to close Nordberg, arguing that the access roads to the station were steep and dangerous, and icy during the winter. The residents of Nordberg were not satisfied with closing the station, and stated that it had served the area well with its central position in the area. The station was however closed, along with the level crossing that formerly had allowed car traffic to cross the tracks. A new underpass for pedestrians was constructed.

In 1951, two young lads had been sledding over the station's plan crossing in a toboggan, accidentally hitting a truck that was parked on the other side of the station. In 1987, a 29 years old man was attacked by a raging moose near the station. The man ran off to a shop 40 metres (130 ft) away, and left the accident with broken ribs and a punctured lung. The reason for the moose's rage is unknown, but it was seen a few days earlier with a calf, and it is assumed that the moose wanted to protect it from foreigners. The man was sent to Ullevål University Hospital shortly thereafter.

Location

Nordberg Station was located in the steep road named Borgestadveien, that passed the station in a level crossing. The station served the local senior center named Nordberghjemmet, and was the most used of all stations among residents living in Nordberg. After the 1992 closure, very little remains from the station, aside from a pedestrian's underpass.
