 They planned that the railway would branch from the Dovre Line at Skansen Station and then follow Sandgata and Olav Tryggvasons gate, cross Nidelva on Bakke Bridge and then run up Innherredsveien before reaching the Meråker Line at Lademoen Station.However, by German capitulation on 8 May 1945, construction of the railway had only reached Søndre gate.The Norwegian State Railways regained interest in the line during the 1950s and resumed construction.
