The Tinnoset Line (Norwegian: Tinnosbanen) was a 30-kilometer (19 mi) long Norwegian railway line that went from Tinnoset to Notodden in Telemark county. The railway was part of the transport chain used to transport fertilizer from Norsk Hydro's factory in Rjukan to the port in Skien. The railway opened in 1909 and was closed when the plant closed in 1991. The railway is sometimes mistakenly believed to be part of the Rjukan Line.

The railways started in the north at the mouth of Lake Tinn where the railway ferries arrived from Mæl. The railway continued south from Notodden along the Bratsberg Line. The transport chain from Rjukan to Skien consisted of four sections:

  • The Rjukan Line, railway line from Rjukan to Mæl, 16 km (9.9 mi)
  • Tinnsjø railway ferry from Mæl to Tinnoset, 30 km (19 mi)
  • The Tinnoset Line from Tinnoset to Notodden, 34 km (21 mi)
  • Telemark Canal from Notodden to Skien, 54 km (34 mi) with barge
  • In 1919 the canal was replaced with the Bratsberg Line from Notodden to Skien.[1]
