Strand Station (Norwegian: Strand holdeplass) was a railway station on Drammen Line in Norway from 1931 to 1973.
It was opened in 1931. It served the neighborhood Strand between Høvik and Stabekk, mainly a residential area. With Strand Station located 8.74 km from Oslo V, the more central station Høvik was located only 1.0 km west of Strand. Hence, passenger traffic to Strand was discontinued in 1973.

“You went on with your dying.
Nothing could stop you. Not your son. Not your daughter
Who fed you and made you into a child again.”

“When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
