Hamar Station (Norwegian: Hamar stasjon) is a railway station located in downtown Hamar, Norway, on the Dovre Line and the Røros Line. The station was opened in 1862 with the construction of the narrow gauge railway between Hamar and Eidsvoll. It is located 126.26 kilometers (78.45 mi) from Oslo Central Station and at 127.0 meters (416.7 ft) above mean sea level.
Hamar is served by express trains to Trondheim and of the hourly regional trains to Lillehammer, Oslo and Vestfold/Grenland. Rørosbanen trains to Røros terminate at Hamar; passengers from Østerdalen must change at Hamar since the Røros Line is, unlike the Dovre Line, not electrified. All trains are operated by the Norwegian State Railways (NSB), while bus service is available by Hedmark Trafikk.
The Norwegian Railway Museum is located at Hamar, not far from the station.
