The old shelter for the locomotives are still standing, and some of the narrowgauge rails are beeing rebuilt. If you are interested in more information and looking more closely at the locomotives, you can travel to Finstadbru (59.9399, 11.4336) or Sørumsand (59.9865, 11.2457) which are other stations on the Urskog-Høland railway. At Sørumsand it is also possible to travel with the old steam locomotives on the weekends during the summer months.
