Rise Station

Historie

Rise Station is a railway station at Rise in Arendal, Norway. Located on the Arendal Line, it is served by the Norwegian State Railways. The station opened as the terminus of the Grimstad Line in 1907; the following year it became a transfer station to the Arendal Line. It then received a station building designed by Paul Armin Due. In 1935 and 1936, the lines were converted from narrow gauge to standard gauge, although for a year the station served as a break-of-gauge station. The Grimstad Line closed in 1961 and in 1983 the station was unmanned.
