The Sperill Line ( _no. Sperillbanen) is an abandoned railway between Finstad and Sperillen in Buskerud, Norway. The convert|24|km|mi line had five stations, starting at Heen on the Randsfjord Line and continuing to the lake Sperillen where it connected with a ferry.

History

The steam ship "Bægna" had trafficked between Heen and Sørum since 1868. On 20 July 1921 the Norwegian legislature decided to build a railway to Sperillen, with a new port Finsand where "Bægna" continued in traffic until 1929, when it was replaced with a motor ship. But already on 1 June 1933 passenger traffic was terminated, as was the ferry traffic. Freight trains on the line were terminated in 1957.
