Tinnsjø railway ferry Mæl Station is a railway station on Rjukanbanen and where the railway cars on the line were transferred to the railway ferry to Tinnoset. The station is located 16 km from Rjukan and on the mouth of the river Måna in Vestfjorddalen where the river runs into Tinnsjå.
The station was built in 1909 when Rjukanbanen opened and electrified in 1911 and closed when traffic on Rjukanbanen ceased in 1991. A new station building was constructed in 1917; it was named Rollag until 1921 when it had to change name because of the connection to the national railway network—there was already a station on Numedalsbanen called Rollag. In 1993 the station was renovated.[1]
