Spikkestadlinjen is a 14 km long railway line between Asker and Spikkestad. It was originally part of Drammensbanen between Oslo and Drammen which was built in 1872. In 1973 a new tunnel (Liertunellen) was built to shorten Drammensbanen, and much of the old line was closed down. The last train on the section between Spikkestad and Drammen ran June 2, 1973. However, the stretch between Asker and Spikkestad was kept as a branch line for local commuter traffic.
