During the planning of the Gjøvik Line it became evident that there was not sufficient space at Christiania East Station (today Oslo Central Station) to handle all the cargo from the various lines which terminated there.
Saat perencanaan Gjøvikbanen ditemukan bahwa tidak ada cukup ruang di Stasiun Christiania Timur (sekarang Stasiun Oslo Pusat) untuk menangani semua kargo dari berbagai jalur yang berakhir di sana.
