It is located right on European route E39 and is the Thamshavn Station was the terminus of the Thamshavnbanen railway. ==History== Thamshavn came into being in 1867 when the local farmer Wilhelm Thams established a sawmill on the area that was named after him. He and his son Christian Thams bought the Løkken Mine at Løkken Verk in 1904 and decided to build a railway from the mine to Thamshavn where they could ship out the pyrites to continental Europe. At the same time the steam ship D/S ''Orkla'' started operating between Thamshavn and Trondheim. In 1931, Orkla Metall (now Elkem Thamshavn) was etabslished by the Orkla Mining Company to smelt the pyrites to sulfur and copper. During World War II, Thamshavn was one of the targets for the Thamshavnbanen sabotage. Today the mine is abandoned and the railway has been converted to a heritage railway, but the smelter and port sill live on.
