Røra Station ( _no. Røra stasjon) is a railway station located in Røra in Inderøy, Norway on Nordlandsbanen. The station serves the entire municipality of Inderøy, though there is no corresponding bus service. The station is only served by Trønderbanen, the commuter rail service between Steinkjer and Trondheim.

History

The station was built as part of Hell–Sunnanbanen and opened November 15, 1905 along with the rest of the line north of Verdal. Originally the station was named Salberg, but renamed to the present Røra on August 1, 1918. The station cost NOK 51,130. As one of only two stations on Hell–Sunnanbanen the station was not custom designed, but a standard design. In 1977 the signaling system at the station was automated and remote controlled. The station has been completely unmanned since 2003.

At the time of the construction the only settlement at Røra was located at Hylla, while the station was chosen to be located beside the Salberg Church. Since the subdivision Hellemshaugen has been built beside the station, as has a grocery store, the school and other public facilities.
