The Thamshavn Line (Norwegian: Thamshavnbanen) was Norway’s first electric railway running from 1908 to 1974. Today it is operated as a heritage railway and is the world’s oldest railway running on its original alternating current electrification scheme using 25 Hz 6.6 kV AC. It was built to transport pyrites from the mines at Løkken Verk to the port at Thamshavn as well as passengers. There were six stations: Thamshavn Orkanger Bårdshaug Fannrem Solbusøy and Svorkmo.
