Kampen Line
Kampentrikken (English:Kampen Tram) was a tram line in Oslo that served Kampen in Gamle Oslo, on the eastern edge of the city. The tramline was established by Kristiania Sporveisselskab in 1900 as a siding to the Gamlebyen Line from Grønland and up Motzfeldts gate, Tøyengata and Hagegata to Brinken. The section was a single track until 1921. It ran northbound via Tøyengata from Grønland, while the runs ran parallel from where existing runs entered Tøyengata. When the Gamleby line got a new route through Schweigaards gate in 1957, which closed the line over Grønland in 1960. So when the line over Grønland closed, the Kampen Line was also closed. It is currently served by bus number 60, at Kampen and Kampen Park (Tonsenhagen-Vippetangen)[1][2]
