The Torpo Railway Station (Norwegian: Torpo stasjon) is a retired railway station located at Torpo in Buskerud county, Norway. It is now used as a crossing track.

History

The station opened on December 21, 1907. The village that gave the station its name changed its name from Torpe to Torpo in April 1935 which caused the station to follow suit. The station was remotely controlled on December 9, 1983, and made unmanned on January 1, 1984. Passenger train service ceased on June 2, 1991, but was resumed from May 29, 1994, to April 20, 2000, and nowadays, the former station serves as a crossing track. The station building, built using red-painted wood in Art Nouveau style with drawings by Paul Armin Due, is still standing.
