The Rjukan Line (Norwegian: Rjukanbanen) at first called the Vestfjorddal Line was a 16-kilometre (10 mi) Norwegian railway line running through Vestfjorddalen between Mæl and Rjukan in Telemark. The railway’s main purpose was to transport chemicals from Norsk Hydro’s plant at Rjukan to the port at Skien in addition to passenger transport. At Mæl the wagons were shipped 30 kilometres (19 mi) on the Tinnsjø railway ferry to Tinnoset where they connected to the Tinnos Line.
