The history of Lommedalsbanen dates back to 1957 when a railway enthusiast discovered bogies from the Second World War at Krokskogen. These bogies, which were used in road construction by the Reich Labor Service, were preserved and became the foundation of the museum railway. This historical context adds a layer of significance to the Lommedalsbanen experience.
Lommedalsbanen was officially opened for public passenger traffic on October 10, 1987. A few years later, on June 21, 1990, the Cultural Committee in Akershus recognized Lommedalsbanen as a semi-public museum. This recognition underscores the cultural and historical significance of Lommedalsbanen.
