Skarpsno was a local station served by the Oslo Commuter Rail and featured an island platform on an elevated segment.

The plans from 1868 for the Drammen Line called for it to run along Frognerkilen to Pipervika, where it would terminate at Oslo West Station.

[3] During the 1914 Jubilee Exhibition a 1.5-kilometre (0.93 mi) branch line was built from Skarpsno to Frogner, which carried a mixture of trains and trams.

The freight handling was moved from Oslo V to Filipstad and on 26 January 1916 a separate railway line opened from Skarpsno to there.

The tracks were raised, allowing the level crossings to be removed and the roads to run through underpasses.

Eivind Gleditsch at NSB Arktitektkontor designed a new station building, which opened in 1917.

[4] From 27 February 1917 a passing loop was built at Skarpsno and standard gauge traffic was carried out on the northern track.

[3] From 13 December 1965 Skarpsno Station was remotely controlled from the signal box at Oslo V, and it was no longer staffed by a train dispatcher.
