Engerjordet is a former light rail station on the Holmenkollen Line in Oslo, Norway. It opened either in 1898 or within a decade, possibly initially as a stop for the tram company's executives, who lived there. The station had a simple wooden platform and saw limited patronage. It was closed in 1935.
History
The station was established concurrently with the line, on 31 May 1898. 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. It remains the only station to have been closed on the line.
Facilities
The station was situated about at the intersection of Slemsdalsveien—which the line follows—and Heyerdals vei. It consisted of 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. The station was named for the farm Enger.
