Hauerseter–Gardermoen Line (Norwegian: Hauerseter–Gardermobanen), previously also known as the Gardermoen Line, is an abandoned, 6.7-kilometer (4.2 mi) branch line in Ullensaker, Norway, which connected Hauerseter Station on the Trunk Line to Gardermoen Air Station. The line had three branches at Gardermoen, one of which led to Trandum. Plans for a branch existed from the early 20th century, but the line was not built until the German occupation of Norway in 1940, when the Luftwaffe upgraded Gardermoen. The line opened on 13 June 1941. After the end of the Second World War in 1945 the line was transferred to the Royal Norwegian Air Force. The line saw limited passenger and cargo traffic, mostly the haulage of aviation fuel. From the 1970s the line fell out of general use, although it was kept in case of war. The line was finally abandoned and the tracks partly removed in the early 2000s.

Jessheim Station
Jessheim Station

Jessheim Station (Norwegian: Jessheim stasjon) is a railway station at Jessheim which opened in 1854. It is 44.60 kilometers (27.71 mi) from Oslo Central Station and has an elevation of 203.8 meters (669 ft) above mean sea level. The station is part of Norway's first railway, the Trunk Line, which ran from Kristiania (today known as Oslo) to Eidsvoll. The railroad had at the time of construction in 1854 named it Trøgstad, but due to the confusion with the town named Trøgstad in Østfold the name was changed in 1897 to Jessum. However, since the name was used blasphemically by some, in particular military recruits, who said they had come through Bøn (town north of Jessheim whose name sounds like 'prayer') to Jessum (which may sound like 'Jesus'). The local priests complained to the bishop who in 1900 discussed the matter with the parish council and suggested the form Jessheim. The name was changed to Jesseim. In 1920, the name was changed to Jessheim. The station has a brick building completed in 1908. The original building burned to the ground in the summer of 1904 after a robbery where the cash register was stolen. The station originally had a water tower to supply the steam locomotives running on the railway. Starting in 1935 the station operated a railway restaurant for a few years.The restaurant was established on 4 February 1923 and was originally run by Norsk Spisevognselskap. From 1 April 1925, operation was taken over by the station master. The ticketing personnel were replaced by ticketing machines in September 2005. Shortly thereafter the building was taken over by Romerike Opplevelser AS and converted to a shop and cafe named Kafé Jessum. In 2007 the building was converted to a restaurant serving Indian food.
