History
Rudskogen Motorsenter was the first asphalt circuit built in Eastern Norway and was officially opened in May 1990. The logistics were organized in such a way that a parking lot was built at Kampenes, 12 kilometers (7.5 mi) south of the venue. The stations were first used on the 19 and 20 May, with the Norwegian State Railways operating a shuttle service between Kampenes and Rudskogen. This was not a success and both stations were abandoned after the 1990 season. The stations was never used by scheduled trains. The same season NSB also opened Hauge Station between Fredrikstad and Sarpsborg in order to serve the sports venue Østfoldhallen.
