Hauketo is served by the Line L2 of the Oslo Commuter Rail, providing two services each hour.

Commuter trains started running to Ljan in 1883, and had for many years the station as their terminus.

It originally received a station building designed by Peter Andreas Blix.

[1] NSB started operating commuter trains from Christiania East Station to Ljan in 1883.

This made Ljan an attractive place for people to build houses, as it was then possible to commute to the city.

It was located close to the general store, while the post office was operated as part of the railway station.

Initially there were four daily trains per direction per day,[4] with a twenty-minute travel time to Oslo.

[8] In addition to passenger transport, wood from Enebakk was carried overland to Ljan and then freighted by rail to the city.

This was a limited system which was not fail proof, so the operation had to manually control that they did not place the switches in a conflicting manner.

[10] The Østfold Line past Ljan is double track and electrified, with the station partially located in a curve.

As it was a single order, the station has a Neoclassical design which does not have any similar buildings elsewhere on the railway network, in part due to the short-lived popularity of the style in Norway.

[22] Prior to receiving the project, Fischer had recently been in Italy and brought home inspiration from there.

[24] On the road side of the station there is a preserved Neoclassical brick superstructure which covers the stairs down to the underpass.

[27] Despite the double track, the Østfold Line past Ljan has reached its capacity limitation due to the mix of commuter, regional and freight trains.

It will allow regional trains to bypass the Østfold Line between Oslo and Ski, freeing up capacity.
