History
(Åsen Museum og Historielag)
The station was opened as Aasen on 29 October 1902 on the Hell–Sunnan Line railway line between Hell Station and Levanger Station as the section to Levanger was finished. Åsen was designed by architect Paul Due and was built with a surrounding park. In April 1921, the name of the station was changed to the current Åsen. The current building is from 1944, but it is no longer used by the railway.[2][3]
The station building was completely renovated in 2009, both inside and out. The station's 1st floor is home to the local business Åsenvøgga, that sell locally produced goods such as knitted products and various other hand-made crafts.[4]
The stations platform was extended in 2020, to accommodate new passenger trains used on the Nordland line.[5]
