In use from 21 October 1901 to 31 May 1938, the private railway connected the area of Hof to Tønsberg, the coast and the Vestfold Line of the Norwegian State Railways. The main purpose of the narrow gauge railway was to connect Eidsfos Verk to the mainline, although the railway also operated passenger trains. The line shares with the Holmestrand–Vittingfoss Line (HVB), the two which from 1934 were operated by the same company, Vestfold Privatbaner. ==Route== The Tønsberg–Eidsfoss Line was long and ran from Tønsberg to Eidsfoss, entirely in the county of Vestfold. The line was narrow gauge and not electrified.〔Bjerke (1994): 226〕 The line ran through flat and easy terrain, with no tunnels or cuttings, and only three bridges. The steepest gradient was 16⅔ per mil, the smallest curve radius was . At Tønsberg the line interchanged with the Vestfold Line, and along the section from Hillestad to Hof the line shared track with the Holmestrand–Vittingfoss Line. TEB had eighteen station. AT Eikfoss it corresponded with steamship services on the lake Eikeren.〔Aspenberg (1994): 146〕 In the original track configuration in Tønsberg, the line started at the post at Stensarmen, which was located from Tønsberg Station. The continued to Jarlsberg Points (), where there was an intersection with the Vestfold Line. From 1915 the track arrangements in Tønsberg were altered and the Vestfold Line was placed in a loop through the town. The last part of the section to Stemsarmen became a spur of this loop, with TEB sharing track with the Vestfold Line for the return part of the loop. The new Tønsberg Station, shared with the Norwegian State Railways (NSB), was located from Stensarmen, but at a different location than the old station.〔Bjerke (1994): 228〕 The first station after Jarlsberg Points was Auli ( from Stensarmen), which had the line's lowest elevation north of Tønsberg of above mean sea level (AMSL). The line continued past Fresti Station () and immediately afterwards crossed the Fresti Bridge. The line continued past Klopp Station () Ramnes Station () before running across the wooden Valle Bridge. It then reached Revatal Station () and Fossan Station () before passed a platform at Bakke (). Next the line went past Svinevoll Station () Baktsvål Station (), Barkost Station () and then Hildestad Station (), where it was joined by HVB.〔 On the concurrent section the line crossed a creek on the Sundbyfoss Bridge and immediately afterwards reached Sundbyfoss Station(). The concurrency ended at Hof Station (), which was the highest station at AMSL. TEB continued down to Kopstad Station (), past a spur to Hoff Sag & Høvleri, past Stubben Station () to Eidsfoss Station ().〔 North of Hillestad, most the right-of-way has been retained, some of it as forestry roads, while other parts have grown wild. From Hof to Eidsfoss, the route can be driven by car. The station building in Eidsfoss was demolished in the 1960s, but the stone depot remains. South of Hillestad, large parts of the line went over agricultural land, and these portions have been reclaimed as such.〔Aspenberg (1994): 148〕 The engine shed at Eidsfoss Station is preserved and has been listed by the Directorate for Cultural Heritage.〔Hartmann (1997): 217〕 The section of the Tønsberg–Eidsfoss Line between Tønsberg Station and Stensarmen remained used as a spur to the port until 1980.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tønsberg–Eidsfoss Line」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
